Analysis
What drives eviction risk in East Elmhurst
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. Housing insecurity runs 29.7% against 14.2% nationally. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.
Running hot, local political climate reads 8/10. Against Queens County at 49.8%, 56% of renters here are cost-burdened. Adults with no health insurance runs 22.1% against 11.3% nationally.
The filing record is not thin: 119 evictions over 7 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2000, when 7.2% 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 4.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 100% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
