New Auburn Eviction Risk: Moderate , Lewiston

The severe-burden share is 34%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. 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. Annualized rent equals 42% of average household income of $30,567, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Food insecurity runs 36.8% against 17.8% nationally. Disability prevalence runs 46.0% against 31.5% nationally.

The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against the Androscoggin County average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. Nationally it ranks #21,564 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

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 ME average is 4.5, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Average gross rent is $1,064, close to the Lewiston average.

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.
