South Ozone Park Eviction Risk: High , New York

Cost burden runs 92% here against 49.8% across Queens County. At $3,501 a month, rents run 92% over what the rest of New York commands.

Set annual rent against average income of $83,000 and the ratio lands at 51%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. Food insecurity runs 34.3% against 17.8% nationally.

The voucher gap is 25.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.

Housing insecurity runs 27.9% against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running hot, local political climate reads 8/10.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 25 filings here across 7 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2002 at 8.8% of renter households.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 5.8% 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.
