Tatumsville takes in 2 census tracts of Savannah, GA and houses 6,070 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.3/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 58% against 33.4% citywide, putting Tatumsville 24.3% over its own city.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
This is a renter market: 74% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Set annual rent against average household income of $44,119 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
20.9% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 28.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.5/10. Court records carry 409 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
At $1,190 a month, rents sit 14% under what the rest of Savannah commands. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 48.0% of renter households.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
