· range 6.7–6.7
Altair maps to a single census tract in Irvine, CA and houses 7,021 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.7/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 48% against 31.5% citywide, putting Altair 16.9% over its own city.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Severe burden reaches 29%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1.4/10. Disability prevalence reaches 18.0% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
4.4% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. That places it #22 of 28 neighborhoods in Irvine. For a like-for-like read, Woodbridge and Turtle Rock Crest score within a fraction of it.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $3,161, close to the Irvine average. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $169,813.
48% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.7/10 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.
