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 Saint Roch

Housing insecurity runs 39.6% against 14.2% nationally. SNAP participation runs 53.6% against 15.2% nationally.

100% 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. Against Orleans Parish at 51.4%, 38% of renters here are cost-burdened. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10.

On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.4/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8/10.

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. Nationally it ranks #31,049 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 2.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

It tracks the Orleans Parish average of 5.4 closely.

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