Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Cambria Heights
Severe burden reaches 33%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.3/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.8/10.
The filing record is not thin: 94 evictions over 7 years of observation. Housing insecurity runs 21.3% against 14.2% nationally.
Filings peaked in 2005 at 27.0% of renter households. 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 12.5% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 95% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
