Savannah Grove Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 3,860 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5/10 · range 3.5–5

Savannah Grove spans 2 census tracts of Meridian, MS, population 3,860. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 43.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 62%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Annualized rent equals 49% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. The severe-burden share is 32%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

At $598 a month, rents sit 34% under what the rest of Meridian commands. Disability prevalence reaches 56.5% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Against a Meridian baseline of 33.8%, 44% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1/10.

The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.5 to 5, a 1.5-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

55% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.5 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
