Mariner maps to a single census tract in Portland, ME and houses 1,337 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7/10, Elevated tier. 33% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Cost burden runs 42% against 30.6% citywide, putting Mariner 10.9% over its own city. Food insecurity affects 6.5% of adults, 11.3 points below the national rate. 5.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Among the 15 mapped neighborhoods of Portland, it ranks #6 by risk, the middle third. At 12% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, East Bayside and Sagamore Village score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $1,648, close to the Portland average.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $83,393.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
