Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Ozone Park

Severe burden reaches 33%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Food insecurity runs 38.4% against 17.8% nationally.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.3/10. SNAP participation runs 31.5% against 15.2% nationally.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. Cost burden runs 57% here against 49.8% across Queens County.

The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. The filing record is not thin: 145 evictions over 7 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2001, when 5.5% 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 4.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.5/10. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.2 points hotter.

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.
