Ferry Village Eviction Risk: Elevated , South Portland

19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.1/10.

Food insecurity runs 6.7% against 17.8% nationally. It sits 1.0 points above the Cumberland County average of 5.0.

On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 2.8/10. Housing insecurity runs 7.1% against 14.2% nationally.

On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 3.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the ME average is 4.5, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 42% of renters. Average gross rent is $1,831, close to the South Portland average.

Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $85,573.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
