Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. 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 Middle Village

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. 67% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8/10.

Severe burden reaches 9%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 24 filings here across 6 tracked years. Average gross rent is $2,070, 14% above the New York average.

The worst year on record was 2000, when 2.8% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. In a typical year about 1.6% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 97% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Queens County average of 9.3 closely.

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