Analysis

What drives eviction risk in South Lewiston

On the national scale it lands near the 38th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 10% of units are renter-occupied.

Against average income of $76,818, annual rent is just 15%. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 45% of renters. Average gross rent is $969, 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.
