West End is a 2-tract neighborhood of Exeter, NH, population 11,432. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 55% against 31.3% citywide, putting West End 23.8% over its own city.
The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.8/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.1/10.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.5 to 5.8, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.2/10.
At $1,401 a month, rents sit 18% under what the rest of Exeter commands. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. SNAP participation is 5.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Against average income of $95,230, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.3 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.
