Queensbridge Eviction Risk: High , New York

Average gross rent is $3,340, 83% above the New York average. The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. This is renter territory: 91% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. The voucher gap is 20.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

SNAP participation runs 4.7% against 15.2% nationally. Against the Queens County average of 9.3, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points.

11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Queens. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. Nationally it ranks #6,676 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
