Warehouse District Eviction Risk: Elevated , New Orleans

SNAP participation runs 42.0% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 44%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 66% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Orleans Parish average of 51.4%.

78% 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. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 26.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $41,600, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.4/10.

20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, local political climate reads 8/10. It sits 1.2 points above the Orleans Parish average of 5.4.

At $1,128 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of New Orleans commands. 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.

That is riskier than roughly 82% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.4/10.

Statewide the LA average is 4.4, so this tract runs 2.2 points hotter.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
