Spring Hill Neighborhood Eviction Risk: Moderate , Slidell

The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty at 2/10. Against the St. Tammany Parish average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.3/10.

SNAP participation runs 27.0% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.7/10. 13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 18.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

At $1,245 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Slidell commands. On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 19% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Social vulnerability reads 8.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
