All people in a household who are related to the householder are regarded as members of his or her family. A household can contain only one family for purposes of census tabulations. Not all households contain families since a household may be a group of unrelated people or one person living alone.

Gender

Racial & ethnic diversity

Black or African American: The percent of the total population who indicate they consider their race to be “Black, African Am., or Negro.” This percent does not include African Americans who checked “yes” for Hispanic or who checked “yes” for more than one race. It does include those that wrote in entries such as Afro American, Kenyan, Nigerian, or Haitian.

White: The percent of the total population who indicate they consider their race to be “White.” This percent does not include whites who checked “yes” for Hispanic or who checked “yes” for more than one race. It does include those that wrote in entries such as English, French, Polish, Lebanese, or Arab.

Asian: The percent of the total population who indicate they consider their race to be “Asian Indian,” “Chinese,” “Filipino,” “Korean,” “Japanese,” “Vietnamese,” and “Other Asian.” This percent does not include Asians who checked “yes” for Hispanic or who checked “yes” for more than one race. It does include those that wrote in entries such as Thai, Laotian, Pakistani, or Indian.

American Indian: The percent of the total population who indicate they consider their race to be “American Indian or Alaska Native” or wrote in the name of their Indian tribe. This percent does not include those who checked “yes” for Hispanic or who checked “yes” for more than one race.

Other: The percent of the total population who indicate they consider their race to only be “Some other race.” It includes those that wrote in entries such as multiracial, mixed, or interracial. Respondents who identified with “Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander” were included in this percentage because the numbers were so few in the greater New Orleans area. This percent does not include those who checked “yes” for Hispanic or who checked “yes” for more than one race.

2 race categories: The percent of the total population who indicate they consider their race to be a combination of two or more of the following race categories: 1) Black, 2) White, 3) American Indian or Alaska Native, 4) Asian, 5) Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander, and 6) Some other race. This percent does not include those who checked “yes” for Hispanic.

Hispanic (any race): The percent of the total population who indicate they consider themselves to be “Mexican, Mexican Am., Chicano,” “Puerto Rican,” “Cuban” or “Other Spanish/Hispanic/Latino.” (The Data Center combined ethnicity data with race data so “Hispanic” is comparable to race categories such as “White.” To avoid double-counting people, anybody who checked “Spanish/Hispanic/Latino” under ethnicity was removed from whatever race category they also checked and put into the new category of “Hispanic or Latino (all races).” So, for example, if someone checked “White” as their race and “Hispanic” as their ethnicity, we removed them from the count of “White” people and included them in our new racial category of “Hispanic or Latino.”)

Separate living quarters are those in which the occupants live separately from any other individuals in the building and which have direct access from outside the building or through a common hall.

Occupied housing units: The percent of total housing units that are occupied. A housing unit is occupied if it is the usual place of residence of the person or group of people living in it at the time of enumeration or if the occupants are only temporarily absent; that is, away on vacation or business.

Vacant housing units: The percent of total housing units that are vacant. A housing unit is vacant if no one is living in it at the time of enumeration, unless its occupants are only temporarily absent. Units temporarily occupied at the time of enumeration entirely by people who have a usual residence elsewhere are classified as vacant. New units not yet occupied are classified as vacant housing units if construction has reached a point where all exterior windows and doors are installed and final usable floors are in place. Vacant units are excluded from the housing inventory if they are open to the elements; that is, the roof, walls, windows, and/or doors no longer protect the interior from the elements. Also excluded are vacant units with a sign that they are condemned or they are to be demolished.

Renters and owners

Total occupied housing units: The total number of housing units that are occupied. A housing unit is occupied if it is the usual place of residence of the person or group of people living in it at the time of enumeration or if the occupants are only temporarily absent; that is, away on vacation or business.

Owner occupied: The percent of total occupied housing units that are owner occupied. A housing unit is owner occupied if the owner or co-owner lives in the unit.

Renter occupied: The percent of total occupied housing units that are renter occupied. All occupied housing units that are not owner occupied, whether they are rented for cash rent or occupied without payment of cash rent, are classified as renter occupied.

Mortgage status

Owned with a mortgage or a loan: The percent of total owner-occupied housing units that are owned with a mortgage. “Mortgage” refers to all forms of debt where the property is pledged as security for repayment of the debt, including deeds of trust; contracts to purchase; second mortgages; and home equity loans. A housing unit is owner occupied if the owner or co-owner lives in the unit.

Owned free and clear: The percent of total owner-occupied housing units that are owned with no mortgage or other similar debt on the house, apartment, or mobile home including units built on leased land if the unit is owned outright without a mortgage. A housing unit is owner occupied if the owner or co-owner lives in the unit.

Average rental cost (in 2021 dollars)

Average contract rent: The total contract rent for all renter-occupied housing units paying cash rent in this area, divided by the total number of renter-occupied housing units paying cash rent in this area. Contract rent is the monthly rent agreed to or contracted for, regardless of any furnishings, utilities, fees, meals, or services that may be included.

Average gross rent: The total gross rent for all renter-occupied housing units paying cash rent in this area, divided by the total number of renter-occupied housing units paying cash rent in this area. Gross rent is the contract rent (the monthly rent agree to or contracted for with or without utilities or other services) plus the estimated average monthly cost of utilities (electricity, gas, water and sewer) and fuels (oil, coal, kerosene, wood, etc.) if these are paid by the renter (or paid for the renter by someone else). Gross rent is intended to eliminate differentials that result from varying practices with respect to the inclusion of utilities and fuels as part of the rental payment.

Inflation Adjustment: In these tables, we present rent in today’s dollars, meaning we adjusted the 2006-2010 rent numbers to be comparable to 2021 dollars. Below the adjusted 2006-2010 numbers, we provide a note: ($X in 2010). This is the unadjusted number, and is comparable to what a renter’s memory may be of what they paid for rent in their neighborhood in 2010.

Population in poverty

Total population for whom poverty status is determined: Poverty status was determined for all people except institutionalized people, people in military group quarters, people in college dormitories, and unrelated individuals under 15 years old. The Census Bureau uses the federal government’s official poverty definition. To determine a person’s poverty status, one compares the person’s total family income with the poverty threshold appropriate for that person’s family size and composition. If the total income of that person’s family is less than the threshold appropriate for that family, then the person is considered poor, together with every member of his or her family. If a person is not living with anyone related by birth, marriage, or adoption, then the person’s own income is compared with his or her poverty threshold.

People living in poverty: The percent of total population for whom poverty status is determined whose family has income that is lower than the poverty threshold for that size family.

People living at or above poverty: The percent of total population for whom poverty status is determined whose family has income that is at or above the poverty threshold for that size family.
