Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Westwego
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. 25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against the Jefferson Parish average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.6 points.
The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. At $803 a month, rents run 23% under what the rest of Westwego commands.
Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.1/10. SNAP participation runs 24.7% against 15.2% nationally.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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. That is riskier than roughly 77% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.2/10. Statewide the LA average is 4.4, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
