· range 3.8–3.8
Pickering maps to a single census tract in Rochester, NH, population 4,132. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.8/10, in the Lower tier. 28% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.9/10. 20% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.9/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.3/10.
Against average income of $90,938, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $1,362, close to the Rochester average.
34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.8/10 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.
