Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Tatumsville

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.6/10. Cost burden runs 61% here against 46.6% across Chatham County. Severe burden reaches 28%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Set annual rent against average income of $41,705 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 24.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The poverty rate is 26%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10.

Against the Chatham County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. At $1,143 a month, rents run 17% under what the rest of Savannah commands.

Court records carry 255 eviction filings across 1 observed years. The worst year on record was 2011, when 48.0% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Savannah. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
