Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Kew Gardens

SNAP participation runs 6.0% against 15.2% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 487 filings here across 7 tracked years.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 5.3% 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.
