Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Bersum Gardens

What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at $1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Portsmouth eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Rockingham County average of 4.6 and above the New Hampshire statewide average of 4.8. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

In CDC survey modeling, about 6.1% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 4.3% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 2nd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
