Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Spanish Fort
The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 6.5/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from New Orleans eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Orleans County average of 5.7 and above the Louisiana statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 175 eviction filings here over 7 tracked years, with about 14.3% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 22.4% of renter households in 2011.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 2.69x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, above pre-pandemic levels.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
