White Bluff Eviction Risk: Moderate

6 census tracts · pop 23,463 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.3/10 · range 3–5

White Bluff spans 6 census tracts of Savannah, GA and houses 23,463 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.3/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Savannah baseline of 33.4%, 46% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.1/10. Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Scores across the 6 constituent tracts range from 3 to 5. A 2-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Filings are well documented here: 1,176 across 6 observed tracts.

Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 3/10. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 32.3% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,267, 8% below the Savannah average of $1,382.

Among the 21 mapped neighborhoods of Savannah, it ranks #15 by risk, the lower third. Judgments average 5.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Fleetwood and Windward.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $62,896.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
