Broadview Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,462 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.2/10 · range 5.2–5.2

Broadview Park maps to a single census tract in South Portland, ME and houses 3,462 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.2/10.

Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.1/10. The severe-burden share is 14%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. 33% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.

Food insecurity affects 8.4% of adults, 9.4 points below the national rate. Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of South Portland, it ranks #6 by risk, the lower third.

Only 17% 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. For a like-for-like read, Stanwood Park and Crocketts Corner score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $114,786, annual rent is only 20%, a wide affordability cushion.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,881, close to the South Portland average.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
