Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Robert M Hitch Village

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.6/10. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. 71% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10.

It sits 1.3 points above the Chatham County average of 4.1. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 148 filings here across 1 tracked years. Housing insecurity runs 21.2% against 14.2% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 16.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. At $1,245 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Savannah commands.

Filings peaked in 2011 at 23.0% of renter households.
