Avondale maps to a single census tract in Savannah, GA, population 4,726. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 39%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Cost burden runs 64% against 33.4% citywide, putting Avondale 30.5% over its own city. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Set annual rent against average household income of $43,485 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
The poverty rate is 25%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.6/10. The filing record is not thin: 181 evictions logged in this tract.
14.5% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Average gross rent is $1,208, 13% below the Savannah average of $1,382.
Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 20.3% of renter households. Among the 21 mapped neighborhoods of Savannah, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 8.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. 47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
