Analysis

What drives eviction risk in White Bluff

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. 69% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

The severe-burden share is 18%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 212 filings here across 1 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2011, when 16.2% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 16.2% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 49% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

45% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Chatham County average of 4.1 closely.

Average gross rent is $1,326, close to the Savannah average. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $64,333.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
