Edgemere is a one-tract neighborhood of Savannah, GA and houses 1,924 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. 48% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Savannah rate of 33.4%.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 28% 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.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.8/10. Average gross rent is $1,665, 20% above the Savannah average of $1,382. Food insecurity affects 5.5% of adults, 12.3 points below the national rate.
The filing record is not thin: 19 evictions logged in this tract. 3.8% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 5.7% of renter households.
That places it #21 of 21 neighborhoods in Savannah. Judgments average 3.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
For a like-for-like read, Norwood Court and Ogeecheeton score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $101,944, annual rent is only 20%, a wide affordability cushion. 35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3/10 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.
