Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Cooks Corner

Cost burden runs 67% here against 38.5% across Cumberland County. Annualized rent equals 43% of average household income of $55,733, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Average gross rent is $2,005, 37% above the Brunswick average.

The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10. Running cool, court filing pressure reads 2.8/10. Against the Cumberland County average of 5.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points.

Nationally it ranks #20,506 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 25% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Statute speed, court posture and rent-regulation exposure are inherited from Brunswick eviction risk rather than measured on these blocks; the economic and supply components are the tract-level part of the score. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.4/10. Statewide the ME average is 4.5, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

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.
