Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Leonidas
SNAP participation runs 35.1% against 15.2% nationally. The severe-burden share is 26%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The poverty rate is 36%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.4/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 22.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8/10.
It sits 1.3 points above the Orleans Parish average of 5.4. 56% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Orleans Parish average of 51.4%.
Court records carry 218 eviction filings across 8 observed years. At $1,124 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of New Orleans commands.
The worst year on record was 2006, when 10.4% of renter households were served. 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.
In a typical year about 5.4% of renter households face a filing.
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.
