What drives eviction risk in Flushing Chinatown
What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. SNAP participation runs 38.4% against 15.2% nationally.
The severe-burden share is 30%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Set annual rent against average income of $45,658 and the ratio lands at 42%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
83% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10.
The poverty rate is 32%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Against Queens County at 49.8%, 60% of renters here are cost-burdened. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.
At $1,599 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of New York commands. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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. On the national scale it lands near the 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.4/10, 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.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
