Emerys Bridge is a one-tract neighborhood of South Berwick, ME, population 3,866. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.1/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 44%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Against a South Berwick baseline of 31.8%, 55% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.
Food insecurity affects 6.3% of adults, 11.5 points below the national rate. Average gross rent is $1,933, 14% above the South Berwick average of $1,702. 5.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Only 6% 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 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
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.
