Savannah Eviction Risk: Moderate

32% 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 43%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.6/10.

Annualized rent equals 45% of average household income of $45,469, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. 82% 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. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

At $1,697 a month, rents run 23% over what the rest of Savannah commands. Against the Chatham County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points.

SNAP participation runs 23.5% 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.
