Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Flushing Chinatown

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. Food insecurity runs 40.7% against 17.8% nationally.

This is renter territory: 94% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.2/10. The poverty rate is 32%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. Housing insecurity runs 23.8% against 14.2% nationally. Against Queens County at 49.8%, 45% of renters here are cost-burdened.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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. Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.2 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

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.
