Analysis
What drives eviction risk in South Ozone Park
The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8/10. Food insecurity runs 29.2% against 17.8% nationally.
12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Housing insecurity runs 23.4% against 14.2% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 101 filings here across 7 tracked years.
Filings peaked in 2000 at 7.8% of renter households. At $1,976 a month, rents run 9% over what the rest of New York commands.
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 6.1% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 95% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Social vulnerability reads 7.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
