Analysis
What drives eviction risk in New Orleans
What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. At $566 a month, rents run 55% under what the rest of New Orleans commands. Housing insecurity runs 40.9% against 14.2% nationally.
Food insecurity runs 57.0% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 41%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 89% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.
Set annual rent against average income of $17,361 and the ratio lands at 39%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.4/10.
Against Orleans Parish at 51.4%, 60% of renters here are cost-burdened. It sits 1.3 points above the Orleans Parish average of 5.4. Court records carry 36 eviction filings across 6 observed years.
The worst year on record was 2012, when 4.5% of renter households were served. 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.
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.
