Cousins Island is a one-tract suburb of Yarmouth, ME and houses 3,128 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.7/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.
33% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Food insecurity affects 5.0% of adults, 12.8 points below the national rate.
Severe burden reaches 12%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. 4.1% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. At $1,831 a month, rents sit 10% over what the rest of Yarmouth commands.
Poverty sits at 2%, 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 $109,410. 28% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
