Saint Roch Eviction Risk: Elevated , New Orleans

Annualized rent equals 39% of average household income of $36,583, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The score leans hardest on regional political climate at 8.4/10. 21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the high side, local political climate reads 8/10. The poverty rate is 27%. 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. It sits 1.1 points above the Orleans Parish average of 5.4. Food insecurity runs 27.4% against 17.8% nationally.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 179 filings here across 8 tracked years. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 16.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The worst year on record was 2006, when 10.9% 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.

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