Long Beach is a one-tract neighborhood of Cape Neddick, ME, population 3,974. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.3/10, in the Lower tier. 90% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Cape Neddick rate of 43.5%.
What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9.4/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.5/10.
Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Food insecurity affects 5.8% of adults, 12.0 points below the national rate.
Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.3/10. 5.1% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Average gross rent is $1,642, 6% below the Cape Neddick average of $1,750. At 12% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $110,779, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
