Analysis
What drives eviction risk in South Ozone Park
Severe burden reaches 31%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 8/10.
Food insecurity runs 29.9% against 17.8% nationally. 43% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Queens County average of 49.8%.
Housing insecurity runs 24.1% against 14.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $2,137, 17% above the New York average. The filing record is not thin: 75 evictions over 7 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2001 at 11.0% 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 6.0% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
