Crocketts Corner Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 3,744 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.2/10 · range 6.2–6.2

Crocketts Corner maps to a single census tract in South Portland, ME and houses 3,744 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.2/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs about half against 31.5% citywide, putting Crocketts Corner 15.8% over its own city.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. At $1,211 a month, rents sit 33% under what the rest of South Portland commands. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1/10.

24% 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. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.1/10.

Food insecurity affects 8.1% of adults, 9.7 points below the national rate. That places it #4 of 6 neighborhoods in South Portland.

At 19% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $72,415.

One tract means one number: 6.2/10 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.
