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 Cambria Heights

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. 38% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the Queens County average of 49.8%.

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

Court records carry 28 eviction filings across 7 observed years. At $2,096 a month, rents run 15% over what the rest of New York commands.

Housing insecurity runs 21.2% against 14.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2001, when 12.4% 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 7.5% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 9% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
