Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Fairway Oaks

What moves this score most is economic stress at 4.5/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

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