Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Wave Crest
The severe-burden share is 28%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. Food insecurity runs 34.8% against 17.8% nationally.
67% 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. SNAP participation runs 29.5% against 15.2% nationally.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 5,590 filings here across 7 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2001 at 30.4% of renter households.
This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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. In a typical year about 27.2% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #1 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Social vulnerability reads 9.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
