Linnhaven West Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,921 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4/10 · range 4–4

Linnhaven West maps to a single census tract in Brunswick, ME and houses 3,921 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Brunswick baseline of 36.4%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The severe-burden share is 27%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.4/10. Average gross rent is $1,833, 25% above the Brunswick average of $1,465.

Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10. Food insecurity affects 8.4% of adults, 9.4 points below the national rate.

Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Brunswick, it ranks #5 by risk, the lower third. At 24% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

For a like-for-like read, Growstown and Pennellville score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $105,281.

One tract means one number: 4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
