Laguna Altura takes in 2 census tracts of Irvine, CA, population 11,833. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.8/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. 57% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Irvine rate of 31.5%.
Severe burden reaches 35%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.2/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.5/10.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.4/10. 5.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. That places it #20 of 28 neighborhoods in Irvine.
Its 2 tracts score within 0.9 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Average gross rent runs $3,086, close to the Irvine average. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $128,221.
56% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 6.8/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
