Sagamore Village is a one-tract neighborhood of Portland, ME and houses 3,417 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.8/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 54% against 30.6% citywide, putting Sagamore Village 22.9% over its own city.
At $389 a month, rents sit 75% under what the rest of Portland commands. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 2/10.
Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. That places it #8 of 15 neighborhoods in Portland.
For a like-for-like read, Munjoy Hill and East Bayside score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 6% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 28% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.8/10 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.
