Kittery Foreside maps to a single census tract in Portsmouth, NH and houses 4,227 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.3/10, Moderate tier. roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Portsmouth rate of 30.1%.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10.
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. Average gross rent is $1,459, 22% below the Portsmouth average of $1,869. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.3% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.4/10. 4.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Portsmouth, it ranks #4 by risk, the middle third. Against average income of $111,266, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
52% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
