Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Saint Roch
SNAP participation runs 33.0% against 15.2% nationally. What pushes it up most is regional political climate at 8.4/10.
Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $42,736, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the high side, local political climate reads 8/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 21.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.3/10. The filing record is not thin: 161 evictions over 8 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2009 at 24.1% of renter households.
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. In a typical year about 10.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Social vulnerability reads 7.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the LA average is 4.4, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
