Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Yarmouth Junction
Pulling hardest the other way is court filing pressure at 2.8/10. Food insecurity runs 6.4% against 17.8% nationally. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.1/10.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 3/10. Housing insecurity runs 6.7% against 14.2% nationally.
That is riskier than roughly 59% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 20% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
It tracks the Cumberland County average of 5.0 closely. Average gross rent is $1,611, close to the Yarmouth average.
Annual rent works out to 18% of average household income of $105,395.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
