Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Cambria Heights
Cost burden runs 93% here against 49.8% across Queens County. What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10.
Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.8/10. At $1,440 a month, rents run 21% under what the rest of New York commands. It sits 1.1 points below the Queens County average of 9.3.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 52 filings here across 7 tracked years. Housing insecurity runs 21.7% against 14.2% nationally.
The worst year on record was 2000, when 12.2% 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 10.2% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 92nd 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.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
