Analysis

What drives eviction risk in East Elmhurst

Against Queens County at 49.8%, 64% of renters here are cost-burdened. This is renter territory: 82% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.5/10.

Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.8/10.

Food insecurity runs 30.9% against 17.8% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 27.1% against 14.2% nationally.

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. On the national scale it lands near the 97th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

It tracks the Queens County average of 9.3 closely.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
