Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Lewiston

18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 2.6/10. That is riskier than roughly 61% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 4.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

It tracks the Androscoggin County average of 4.4 closely. Average gross rent is $960, close to the Lewiston average.

Annual rent works out to 18% of average household income of $63,409. 51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
