Analysis

What drives eviction risk in White Bluff

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. 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.

Cost burden runs 38% here against 46.6% across Chatham County. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10. Court records carry 282 eviction filings across 1 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2011 at 24.7% of renter households. At $1,263 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Savannah commands.

In a typical year about 24.7% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 51% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
