Milliken Mills Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,528 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.1/10 · range 3.1–3.1

Milliken Mills is a one-tract neighborhood of Dunstan, ME, population 2,528. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.1/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 18% against 44.6% citywide, putting Milliken Mills 27.1% under its own city.

What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9.4/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10.

Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. At $1,457 a month, rents sit 18% under what the rest of Dunstan commands. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

SNAP participation is 6.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. At 6% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 11% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3.1/10 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.
