Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Cambria Heights
The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.
Housing insecurity runs 23.4% against 14.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 102 evictions over 7 years of observation. It sits 0.8 points below the Queens County average of 9.3.
Food insecurity runs 25.1% against 17.8% nationally. At $1,646 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of New York commands.
Filings peaked in 2005 at 12.4% of renter households. 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 8.3% of renter households face a filing.
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.
