Ardsley Park-Chatham Crescent Historic District Eviction Risk: Moderate

7 census tracts · pop 15,333 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.9/10 · range 3–5.4

Ardsley Park-Chatham Crescent Historic District is a 7-tract neighborhood of Savannah, GA, population 15,333. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.9/10, Moderate tier. 59% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Savannah rate of 33.4%.

36% 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. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 5.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Court records carry 513 eviction filings across its 7 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 24.1% of renter households.

That places it #11 of 21 neighborhoods in Savannah. Judgments average 6.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

For a like-for-like read, Gordonston and Barian Terrace score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $1,378, close to the Savannah average. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $61,803.

54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
