Straw/Smyth Eviction Risk: Moderate , Manchester

26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. This is renter territory: 74% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.2/10.

Against the Hillsborough County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.5/10.

Average gross rent is $1,288, 18% below the Manchester average. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. On the national scale it lands near the 67th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.6/10. Statewide the NH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 43% of renters. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $56,769.

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.
