Parkwood is a 2-tract neighborhood of Savannah, GA, population 7,123. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Against a Savannah baseline of 33.4%, 40% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.5 to 5.7, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.7/10. Court records carry 179 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 20.8% of renter households.
Among the 21 mapped neighborhoods of Savannah, it ranks #9 by risk, the middle third. Judgments average 5.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Average gross rent runs $1,321, close to the Savannah average. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $63,854. 36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
