Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Saco
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. At $1,667 a month, rents run 33% over what the rest of Saco commands.
Food insecurity runs 8.3% against 17.8% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 38% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
It tracks the York County average of 4.3 closely. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $75,145. 26% 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.
