Analysis

What drives eviction risk in North Deering

The clearest offset is economic stress at 2.3/10. 13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 2.8/10.

Food insecurity runs 8.3% against 17.8% nationally. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 3.1/10. That is riskier than roughly 82% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 6.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the ME average is 4.5, so this tract runs 2.1 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 36% of renters. Average gross rent is $1,632, close to the Portland average.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $87,744. 41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
