Savanna Heights Eviction Risk: Lower

Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

The filing record is not thin: 215 evictions logged in this tract. SNAP participation is 6.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Against a Chesapeake baseline of 33.8%, 37% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Food insecurity affects 8.6% of adults, 9.2 points below the national rate.

At $1,773 a month, rents sit 12% over what the rest of Chesapeake commands. Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 13.2% of renter households. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10.

Recent filings have not receded much: 11.9% in 2016 against a 13.2% peak. That places it #29 of 48 neighborhoods in Chesapeake.

Only 10% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Chadswyck and Deep Creek.

Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
