Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Edgemere

Severe burden reaches 28%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.8/10.

Food insecurity runs 5.5% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 3.5% against 15.2% nationally.

Average gross rent is $1,665, 20% above the Savannah average. It sits 1.1 points below the Chatham County average of 4.1. The filing record is not thin: 19 evictions over 1 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2011, when 5.7% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 5.7% of renter households face a filing.
