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
The score leans hardest on regional political climate at 8.4/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 8/10.
Running cool, state political climate reads 2.3/10. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. SNAP participation runs 24.0% against 15.2% nationally.
The filing record is not thin: 216 evictions over 8 years of observation. Housing insecurity runs 22.5% against 14.2% nationally. At $1,114 a month, rents run 11% under what the rest of New Orleans commands.
The worst year on record was 2009, when 16.3% of renter households were served. 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 9.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 74% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
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.
