Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Saint Roch
The severe-burden share is 30%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income of $35,795, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
The dominant input is regional political climate at 8.4/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 8/10. SNAP participation runs 29.2% against 15.2% nationally.
The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.3/10.
Housing insecurity runs 24.5% against 14.2% nationally. Court records carry 90 eviction filings across 8 observed years. Against the Orleans Parish average of 5.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points.
Average gross rent is $1,092, 13% below the New Orleans average. Filings peaked in 2009 at 5.2% 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.
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.
