Union Junction maps to a single census tract in Savannah, GA, population 1,821. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 69% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Savannah rate of 33.4%.
33% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Set annual rent against average household income of $33,938 and the ratio lands at 38%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Food insecurity affects 37.6% of adults, 19.8 points above the national rate. 21.3% 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.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.8/10. At $1,080 a month, rents sit 22% under what the rest of Savannah commands. The poverty rate is 22%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
The filing record is not thin: 119 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 23.4% of renter households. Among the 21 mapped neighborhoods of Savannah, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
Judgments average 9.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
