East Elmhurst Eviction Risk: High , New York

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. 31% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. This is renter territory: 79% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Food insecurity runs 35.9% against 17.8% nationally. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.6/10.

Housing insecurity runs 27.7% against 14.2% nationally. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.

The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 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.

On the national scale it lands near the 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.2 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

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