Analysis
What drives eviction risk in LeFrak City
The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $63,333, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. This is renter territory: 76% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Food insecurity runs 34.4% against 17.8% nationally. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.8/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 24.7% against 11.3% nationally.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Cost burden runs 55% here against 49.8% across Queens County. The filing record is not thin: 282 evictions over 7 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2000, when 6.4% of renter households were served.
This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Queens. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 5.1% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
