Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Ravenswood
This is renter territory: 90% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. 20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Average gross rent is $1,356, 26% below the New York average.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. Food insecurity runs 29.1% against 17.8% nationally.
Housing insecurity runs 23.1% against 14.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 2,504 evictions over 7 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2004 at 36.5% of renter households. 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.
In a typical year about 20.7% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
