Kew Gardens Eviction Risk: High , New York

This is renter territory: 74% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.6/10.

17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. Cost burden runs 45% here against 49.8% across Queens County.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 620 filings here across 7 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2001, when 5.1% of renter households were served. 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 4.1% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 8.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
