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

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. Set annual rent against average income of $61,563 and the ratio lands at 45%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Against Queens County at 49.8%, 62% of renters here are cost-burdened.

At $2,299 a month, rents run 26% over what the rest of New York commands. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8/10. Court records carry 56 eviction filings across 7 observed years. The worst year on record was 2004, when 3.0% of renter households were served.

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. In a typical year about 1.8% 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 8.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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