Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Central Business District
74% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Orleans Parish average of 51.4%. Set annual rent against average income of $31,071 and the ratio lands at 54%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. This is renter territory: 98% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 29.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Housing insecurity runs 34.3% against 14.2% nationally. What pushes it up most is regional political climate at 8.4/10.
The poverty rate is 29%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side, local political climate reads 8/10.
Against the Orleans Parish average of 5.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.3/10. The filing record is not thin: 142 evictions over 8 years of observation.
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.
