Turner Center maps to a single census tract in Turner, ME and houses 5,822 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1/10. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.2/10.
Food insecurity affects 9.3% of adults, 8.5 points below the national rate. At 10% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
40% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Rent takes 8% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $588, close to the Turner average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
