Savannah Eviction Risk: Moderate

Cost burden runs 65% here against 46.6% across Chatham County. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.6/10. This is renter territory: 99% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Set annual rent against average income of $49,792 and the ratio lands at 43%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

At $1,778 a month, rents run 29% over what the rest of Savannah commands. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10.

It sits 1.3 points above the Chatham County average of 4.1. The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 2 filings here across 1 tracked years. The voucher gap is 12.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Filings peaked in 2011 at 0.4% of renter households.

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.
