Analysis
What drives eviction risk in West End
Average gross rent is $1,724, 38% above the New Orleans average. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.4/10.
Against the Orleans Parish average of 5.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.5 points. Running hot, local political climate reads 8/10.
Food insecurity runs 6.6% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 4.0% against 15.2% nationally. The voucher gap is 16.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Court records carry 30 eviction filings across 6 observed years. Filings peaked in 2008 at 7.9% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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.
