Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sawyers

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. 69% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.5/10.

Against the Strafford County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. Running cool, economic stress reads 2.7/10.

SNAP participation runs 6.2% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 8.9% against 17.8% nationally. Against Strafford County at 44.5%, 49% of renters here are cost-burdened.

That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the NH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
