Marrero Eviction Risk: Moderate

At $627 a month, rents run 40% under what the rest of Marrero commands. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10.

On the high side, local political climate reads 8.6/10. SNAP participation runs 30.4% against 15.2% nationally.

Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 8.1/10. Against the Jefferson Parish average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 19.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for New Orleans. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. On the national scale it lands near the 72nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the LA average is 4.4, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $33,420.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
