Wave Crest Eviction Risk: High , New York

This is renter territory: 84% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Food insecurity runs 33.7% against 17.8% nationally.

41% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Queens County average of 49.8%. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.

Housing insecurity runs 27.1% against 14.2% nationally. At $1,500 a month, rents run 18% under what the rest of New York commands.

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. On the national scale it lands near the 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 9.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.2 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. 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.
