Jackson Heights Eviction Risk: High , New York

Severe burden reaches 30%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Annualized rent equals 41% of average household income of $59,106, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8/10. Food insecurity runs 29.3% against 17.8% nationally. Court records carry 37 eviction filings across 7 observed years.

Cost burden runs 54% here against 49.8% across Queens County. Housing insecurity runs 21.5% against 14.2% nationally. At $2,003 a month, rents run 10% over what the rest of New York commands.

Filings peaked in 2000 at 3.7% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. In a typical year about 2.3% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.4/10.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
