Bartlett Mills is a one-tract neighborhood of Kennebunk, ME, population 4,828. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 2.5/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 6.3% of adults, 11.5 points below the national rate.

32% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Kennebunk rate of 27.5%. Average gross rent is $1,618, 10% above the Kennebunk average of $1,466.

Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 28% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.2/10 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.
