CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1/10. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $137,813, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
Statewide the ME average is 4.5, so this tract runs 1.4 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
