What drives eviction risk in Leonidas
80% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Orleans Parish average of 51.4%. At $1,915 a month, rents run 53% over what the rest of New Orleans commands.
Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income of $62,222, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The score leans hardest on economic stress at 8.5/10. The poverty rate is 34%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
The voucher gap is 29.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.4/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8/10.
It sits 1.0 points above the Orleans Parish average of 5.4. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 31 filings here across 8 tracked years.
Filings peaked in 2007 at 4.4% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 1.6% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #16,032 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
