Laconia Eviction Risk: Moderate

Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income of $47,141, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. roughly one in two of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Belknap County average of 41.2%.

Against the Belknap County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.8 points. The severe-burden share is 19%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. At $1,502 a month, rents run 23% over what the rest of Laconia commands.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.7/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.5/10.

The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Nationally it ranks #20,506 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 7.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the NH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter.

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