Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Leonidas

The severe-burden share is 34%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. SNAP participation runs 48.1% against 15.2% nationally.

The dominant input is regional political climate at 8.4/10. Disability prevalence runs 48.1% against 31.5% nationally. The poverty rate is 32%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Running hot, local political climate reads 8/10. On the high side, economic stress reads 7.9/10. It sits 1.3 points above the Orleans Parish average of 5.4.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 108 filings here across 8 tracked years. At $1,066 a month, rents run 15% under what the rest of New Orleans commands.

Filings peaked in 2013 at 4.4% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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.

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.
