Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Metairie

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. Cost burden runs 38% here against 47.9% across Jefferson Parish.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.3/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.3/10.

12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Average gross rent is $1,073, 9% below the Metairie average. 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.

Nationally it ranks #52,479 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 6.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

It tracks the Jefferson Parish average of 4.3 closely. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $58,571.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
