Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Kew Gardens
The severe-burden share is 23%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. This is renter territory: 74% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.4/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 637 filings here across 7 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2000 at 15.1% 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 13.0% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 97th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Social vulnerability reads 5.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 1.9 points hotter.
Rent takes 30% or more of income for 48% of renters. It tracks the Queens County average of 9.3 closely.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
