Gateway Hills is a 3-tract neighborhood of Nashua, NH, population 14,775. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.5/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 41% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Nashua rate of 28.7%.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.1/10.
The voucher gap is 26.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Severe burden reaches 19%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 3 to 4.1. A 1.1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. On the high side is supply constraint at 7.6/10.
SNAP participation is 4.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. At $1,970 a month, rents sit 13% over what the rest of Nashua commands. Food insecurity affects 8.6% of adults, 9.2 points below the national rate.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $110,722. 56% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
