East Eliot maps to a single census tract in South Eliot, ME, population 6,848. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.5/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.1/10.
Against a South Eliot baseline of 32.8%, 43% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. 19% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.3/10.
Average gross rent is $1,837, 15% below the South Eliot average of $2,155. Food insecurity affects 7.4% of adults, 10.4 points below the national rate. Only 17% 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.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $100,472.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
