Eastwood is a 2-tract neighborhood of Irvine, CA, population 14,445. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.1/10, in the Elevated tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10.
Severe burden reaches 19%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Cost burden runs 39% against 31.5% citywide, putting Eastwood 7.3% over its own city.
The voucher gap is 20.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.4/10.
Average gross rent is $3,501, 17% above the Irvine average of $2,997. 3.6% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Running hot is supply constraint at 7.1/10. SNAP participation is 6.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Among the 28 mapped neighborhoods of Irvine, it ranks #15 by risk, the middle third.
Only 21% 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 Orchard Hills and Greenwood Tustin Legacy.
The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.3 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $171,459.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
