Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Kew Gardens
The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. 62% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Queens County average of 49.8%. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.5/10.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. The filing record is not thin: 324 evictions over 7 years of observation.
SNAP participation runs 6.9% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 10.8% against 17.8% nationally. Filings peaked in 2001 at 9.1% of renter households.
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 7.9% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 95th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
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.
