St. Simons Eviction Risk: Lower

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.3/10. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 1/10.

Against Glynn County at 36.3%, 47% of renters here are cost-burdened. The voucher gap is 22.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Food insecurity runs 7.1% against 17.8% nationally.

Against the Glynn County average of 4.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points. At $1,549 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of St. Simons commands.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the national scale it lands near the 27th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 19% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the GA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

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.
