Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Kew Gardens

21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.7/10.

Running cool, economic stress reads 1.9/10. Cost burden runs 43% here against 49.8% across Queens County.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 447 filings here across 7 tracked years. Against the Queens County average of 9.3, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points. SNAP participation runs 7.7% against 15.2% nationally.

The worst year on record was 2001, when 7.1% 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 6.8% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 94th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
