Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Oakdale

roughly one in two of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Cumberland County average of 38.5%. Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Pulling hardest the other way is court filing pressure at 2.8/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.9/10.

Food insecurity runs 8.7% against 17.8% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.6/10.

Statewide the ME average is 4.5, so this tract runs 2.9 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Average gross rent is $1,595, close to the Portland average. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $72,094.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
