Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Savannah

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.6/10. Set annual rent against average income of $44,801 and the ratio lands at 43%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 89% 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.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. The poverty rate is 32%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10. Against the Chatham County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. Housing insecurity runs 25.3% against 14.2% nationally.

At $1,610 a month, rents run 16% over what the rest of Savannah commands. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 16.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 9.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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