East Gray maps to a single census tract in Gray, ME, population 6,065. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.1/10, in the Moderate tier. 41% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Gray rate of 25.6%.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10.
The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.6/10.
Food insecurity affects 7.8% of adults, 10.0 points below the national rate. At $1,321 a month, rents sit 7% over what the rest of Gray commands.
Only 19% 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 16% 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: 4.1/10 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.
