Shaws Hill Eviction Risk: Moderate

Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10. Against a Portsmouth baseline of 30.1%, 39% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Food insecurity affects 6.4% of adults, 11.4 points below the national rate. 4.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. That places it #4 of 7 neighborhoods in Portsmouth.

At 23% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $113,333, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent runs $1,757, close to the Portsmouth average.

One tract means one number: 4.3/10 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.
