Jackson Heights Eviction Risk: High , New York

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. Cost burden runs 63% here against 49.8% across Queens County. Annualized rent equals 39% of average household income of $54,460, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.4/10. 67% 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.

Food insecurity runs 32.0% against 17.8% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.

SNAP participation runs 22.5% against 15.2% nationally. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 9.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
