Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Mid-City
74% 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. Running hot, local political climate reads 8/10.
Running cool, state political climate reads 2.3/10. The severe-burden share is 11%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
The filing record is not thin: 314 evictions over 8 years of observation. At $1,379 a month, rents run 10% over what the rest of New Orleans commands. Filings peaked in 2009 at 16.6% of renter households.
This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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 6.7% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #32,842 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.1/10.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for about half of renters. 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.
