Kew Gardens Eviction Risk: High , New York

Average gross rent is $3,501, 92% above the New York average. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10.

Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. The voucher gap is 25.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.

SNAP participation runs 3.8% against 15.2% nationally. Against the Queens County average of 9.3, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points. The filing record is not thin: 11 evictions over 6 years of observation.

9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.5% against 11.3% nationally.

The worst year on record was 2006, when 2.6% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 1.1% of renter households face a filing.

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.
