Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Ozone Park
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. Annualized rent equals 46% of average household income of $47,150, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.5/10.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Food insecurity runs 27.2% against 17.8% nationally. Against Queens County at 49.8%, 55% of renters here are cost-burdened.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 113 filings here across 7 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2005, when 15.8% of renter households were served.
This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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. In a typical year about 8.2% 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.
