Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sunnyside
Against Queens County at 49.8%, 34% of renters here are cost-burdened. 69% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. The severe-burden share is 18%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 8/10. The filing record is not thin: 484 evictions over 7 years of observation.
Average gross rent is $2,046, 12% above the New York average. The worst year on record was 2005, when 8.2% 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 6.6% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #3,797 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Social vulnerability reads 7.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
