Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Carver Village

The heaviest input here is economic stress at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Savannah eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Chatham County average of 5.6 and above the Georgia statewide average of 5.6. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

In CDC survey modeling, about 45.5% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 38.9% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 135 eviction filings here over 1 tracked years, with about 21.6% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 21.6% of renter households in 2011.

For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
