Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

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 Cambria Heights

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. 64% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Queens County average of 49.8%. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. Against the Queens County average of 9.3, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points.

Court records carry 171 eviction filings across 7 observed years. Housing insecurity runs 21.8% against 14.2% nationally.

Average gross rent is $1,645, 10% below the New York average. The worst year on record was 2000, when 10.1% 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 7.3% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 92nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 23% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8/10.

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