LeFrak City Eviction Risk: High , New York

28% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income of $66,250, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

60% 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. Running hot, local political climate reads 8/10.

Food insecurity runs 27.9% against 17.8% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 22.7% against 14.2% nationally.

The filing record is not thin: 760 evictions over 7 years of observation. At $2,077 a month, rents run 14% over what the rest of New York commands.

The worst year on record was 2004, when 10.5% 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.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
