Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Springfield Gardens
The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at 9.8/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from New York eviction laws, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Queens County average of 7.0 and above the New York statewide average of 6.3. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
The tract is predominantly Black and ranks around the 18th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 63 eviction filings here over 7 tracked years, with about 11.4% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 14.0% of renter households in 2000.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
