What drives eviction risk in Kew Gardens
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. Average gross rent is $2,193, 20% above the New York average. It sits 1.0 points below the Queens County average of 9.3.
SNAP participation runs 6.1% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 10.1% against 17.8% nationally. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 92nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
