Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Bay View

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.1/10. Average gross rent is $1,618, 30% above the Saco average.

Food insecurity runs 4.8% against 17.8% nationally. It sits 1.3 points below the York County average of 4.3. Against York County at 39.3%, around a third of renters here are cost-burdened.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 13% 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 2.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $131,429, annual rent is just 15%. Statewide the ME average is 4.5, so this tract runs 1.5 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

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.
