Food insecurity runs 8.9% against 17.8% nationally. Court records carry 132 eviction filings across 8 observed years.
At $1,379 a month, rents run 10% over what the rest of New Orleans commands. Filings peaked in 2006 at 3.6% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for New Orleans.
