Fairway Oaks Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 7,798 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.3/10 · range 4–4.8

Fairway Oaks takes in 2 census tracts of Savannah, GA, population 7,798. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.3/10, in the Moderate tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Against a Savannah baseline of 33.4%, 39% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Court records carry 322 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Running cool is supply constraint, at 3/10. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 18.4% of renter households.

At $1,268 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of Savannah commands. Among the 21 mapped neighborhoods of Savannah, it ranks #15 by risk, the lower third.

Judgments average 4.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Fleetwood and White Bluff. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Its 2 tracts score within 0.8 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $61,963.

54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

With little internal variation, 4.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
