Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Saint Roch
At $799 a month, rents run 36% under what the rest of New Orleans commands. Food insecurity runs 34.2% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.4/10. Against Orleans Parish at 51.4%, 42% of renters here are cost-burdened.
On the high side, local political climate reads 8/10. It sits 1.3 points above the Orleans Parish average of 5.4. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 20.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for New Orleans. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
That is riskier than roughly 83% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 5.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
