Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Tea Kettle Corner

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.2/10.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.5/10. Food insecurity runs 7.7% against 17.8% nationally. Against the York County average of 4.3, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points.

Nationally it ranks #56,048 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 10% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $116,094, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the ME average is 4.5, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

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. Average gross rent is $1,213, close to the Biddeford average.
