Robert M Hitch Village Eviction Risk: Moderate , Savannah

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. 33% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

The poverty rate is 56%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Cost burden runs 62% here against 46.6% across Chatham County.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.6/10. Average gross rent is $1,910, 38% above the Savannah average. This is renter territory: 77% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. The voucher gap is 20.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

It sits 1.3 points above the Chatham County average of 4.1. Food insecurity runs 29.2% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 26.3% against 15.2% nationally. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Savannah. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
