· range 3.1–3.1
Sandy Brook maps to a single census tract in Saco, ME and houses 5,504 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.1/10, Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.5/10. Food insecurity affects 7.9% of adults, 9.9 points below the national rate. Only 3% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,288, close to the Saco average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.1/10 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.
