Analysis
What drives eviction risk in New Auburn
The poverty rate is 44%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Average gross rent is $571, 42% below the Lewiston average. 99% 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.
Food insecurity runs 37.6% against 17.8% nationally. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. Disability prevalence runs 48.1% against 31.5% nationally.
Against the Androscoggin County average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. Severe burden reaches 8%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. That is riskier than roughly 74% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.5/10. Statewide the ME average is 4.5, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
