Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in East Elmhurst

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. 63% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Queens County average of 49.8%. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8/10. Food insecurity runs 28.8% against 17.8% nationally.

Housing insecurity runs 25.0% against 14.2% nationally. Court records carry 254 eviction filings across 7 observed years. At $2,003 a month, rents run 10% over what the rest of New York commands.

The worst year on record was 2006, when 10.6% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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. In a typical year about 8.0% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 96th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
