Gaslight District Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 2,431 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.4/10 · range 5.4–5.4

Gaslight District maps to a single census tract in Manchester, NH, population 2,431. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. 88% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Against a Manchester baseline of 30.0%, 41% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Average gross rent is $1,032, 34% below the Manchester average of $1,564.

On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.6/10. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The severe-burden share is 10%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10. Among the 22 mapped neighborhoods of Manchester, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.

For a like-for-like read, Kalivas/Union and Amoskeag Millyard score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 10/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $55,145.

One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
