Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. 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 Central Business District

The dominant input is regional political climate at 8.4/10. 74% 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.

Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income of $59,180, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. At $1,589 a month, rents run 27% over what the rest of New Orleans commands.

The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.3/10.

The filing record is not thin: 203 evictions over 8 years of observation. It sits 0.8 points above the Orleans Parish average of 5.4.

Cost burden runs 55% here against 51.4% across Orleans Parish. Filings peaked in 2011 at 3.9% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 3.0% 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.
