Middle Village Eviction Risk: High , New York

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. Severe burden reaches 31%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income of $65,357, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. Food insecurity runs 32.0% against 17.8% nationally.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8/10. The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 39 filings here across 7 tracked years.

Housing insecurity runs 22.2% against 14.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $2,002, 10% above the New York average. Filings peaked in 2001 at 3.7% of renter households.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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.
