Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sunnyside Gardens
The poverty rate is 90%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. This is renter territory: 100% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.8/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. 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. That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.2 points hotter.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Queens County average of 9.3 closely.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
