Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Bywater

70% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Orleans Parish average of 51.4%. The dominant input is regional political climate at 8.4/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 8/10.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.3/10. Housing insecurity runs 25.0% against 14.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 19.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Court records carry 55 eviction filings across 8 observed years. At $1,131 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of New Orleans commands. Filings peaked in 2010 at 4.9% of renter households.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 4.0% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 5.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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