Analysis
What drives eviction risk in LeFrak City
What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. This is renter territory: 93% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Housing insecurity runs 35.8% against 14.2% nationally. 29% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Average gross rent is $1,171, 36% below the New York average.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. Disability prevalence runs 45.4% against 31.5% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.
58% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Queens County average of 49.8%. The poverty rate is 24%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,238 filings here across 7 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2001 at 21.2% of renter households.
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.
