Filings peaked in 2001 at 20.6% of renter households. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Queens.

Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 9.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
