Spring Hill Eviction Risk: Moderate , Savannah

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,024, 26% below the Savannah average.

It sits 1.3 points above the Chatham County average of 4.1. The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

The filing record is not thin: 162 evictions over 1 years of observation. Food insecurity runs 25.3% against 17.8% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Filings peaked in 2011 at 20.9% of renter households. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
