Metairie Eviction Risk: Moderate

Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.3/10. Food insecurity runs 29.8% against 17.8% nationally.

Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.5/10. SNAP participation runs 23.3% against 15.2% nationally.

Against the Jefferson Parish average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.6 points. On the national scale it lands near the 59th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 8.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

48% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. Average gross rent is $1,188, close to the Metairie average.

Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $50,323.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
