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

At $1,085 a month, rents run 40% under what the rest of New York commands. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. 56% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Queens County average of 49.8%. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 33 filings here across 7 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2016, when 25.9% 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 15.9% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 96th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 17% 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 3.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $100,000, annual rent is just 13%. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
