Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Fairway Oaks

What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at $1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. 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 below the Chatham County average of 5.6 and below the Georgia statewide average of 5.6. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 160 eviction filings here over 1 tracked years, with about 18.4% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 18.4% of renter households in 2011.

In CDC survey modeling, about 10.9% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 7.3% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
