Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sunnyside
Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8/10.
The filing record is not thin: 84 evictions over 7 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2000 at 3.1% of renter households. 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 2.0% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #2,922 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Social vulnerability reads 8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.7 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
49% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Queens County average of 9.3 closely.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
