Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sunnyside

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. SNAP participation runs 40.5% against 15.2% nationally. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.8/10.

Cost burden runs roughly two in three here against 49.8% across Queens County. The poverty rate is 41%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 21.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. 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.

On the national scale it lands near the 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.2/10. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.2 points hotter.
