Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Saint Roch
65% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Orleans Parish average of 51.4%. What pushes it up most is regional political climate at 8.4/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 8/10.
SNAP participation runs 28.7% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 25%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Housing insecurity runs 25.5% against 14.2% nationally. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.3/10.
Court records carry 140 eviction filings across 8 observed years. Filings peaked in 2012 at 8.2% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 6.2% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
