Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

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 score leans hardest on regional political climate at 8.4/10. Cost burden runs 62% here against 51.4% across Orleans Parish.

The poverty rate is 27%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running hot, local political climate reads 8/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.3/10.

Court records carry 135 eviction filings across 8 observed years. Average gross rent is $1,389, 11% above the New Orleans average.

The worst year on record was 2008, when 6.4% 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 3.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 77% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.8/10.

Statewide the LA average is 4.4, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

It tracks the Orleans Parish average of 5.4 closely.

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.
