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

This is renter territory: 82% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Adults with no health insurance runs 29.1% against 11.3% nationally. At $2,377 a month, rents run 31% over what the rest of New York commands.

20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.

SNAP participation runs 28.6% against 15.2% nationally. Running hot, local political climate reads 8/10. 56% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Queens County average of 49.8%.

Court records carry 192 eviction filings across 7 observed years. Filings peaked in 2001 at 6.5% of renter households.

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.

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