No sector on New Orleans' ten-sector list matches Audubon on price. Its $934,000 median value is the highest, 196% above the city's $315,700, and its $1,880 rent is second-highest, 50% above the city. The housing is also the oldest: 88.8% of homes predate 1980, the top share of the ten, and the typical house goes back to 1939 or earlier. Owners account for 65.2% of households, fifth of ten, beating the 51.2% for New Orleans overall, that is 2,959 households owning and 1,577 renting. The neighbours are far lower. Central City's median is $290,000 and Mid-city's $384,000, and their owner shares are only 24.8% and 27.5%, so Audubon, south-west of the centre, is owner-heavy by contrast. Its 17,315 residents live in 5,552 homes; the data come from 7 census tracts. Measured against the city's 51.2% owner share, Audubon sits well above the line while its closest neighbours sit far below it.
