Higgins Corner maps to a single census tract in Lisbon Falls, ME, population 4,529. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.2/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.1/10.
Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Cost burden runs 29% against 25.0% citywide, putting Higgins Corner 4.1% over its own city.
At $1,030 a month, rents sit 6% over what the rest of Lisbon Falls commands. Only 25% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
