Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Leonidas
What pushes it up most is economic stress at 9.2/10. Severe burden reaches 29%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Annualized rent equals 41% of average household income of $29,440, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The poverty rate is 37%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.4/10. Housing insecurity runs 29.7% against 14.2% nationally.
68% 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. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.8/10.
Against Orleans Parish at 51.4%, 60% of renters here are cost-burdened. It sits 1.3 points above the Orleans Parish average of 5.4. At $1,006 a month, rents run 20% under what the rest of New Orleans commands.
Court records carry 181 eviction filings across 8 observed years. The worst year on record was 2012, when 7.4% 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 6.2% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
