Avon Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,933 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.4/10 · range 5.4–5.4

Avon Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Savannah, GA and houses 3,933 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 40%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

56% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Savannah rate of 33.4%. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.1/10. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. At $1,128 a month, rents sit 18% under what the rest of Savannah commands.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 22.3% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Court records for this tract carry 302 eviction filings.

SNAP participation is 24.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 44.8% of renter households. Among the 21 mapped neighborhoods of Savannah, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.

Judgments average 8.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Spring Hill and Carver Village. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

One tract means one number: 5.4/10 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.
