Lower Main is a one-tract neighborhood of Bridgton, ME and houses 1,858 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 32%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7.9/10.
The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for around a third of renter households. At $910 a month, rents sit 17% over what the rest of Bridgton commands.
Only 10% 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.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
