Limestone Canyon is a one-tract suburb of Irvine, CA and houses 17,132 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.5/10, Elevated tier. Against a Irvine baseline of 31.5%, 45% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.1/10.
21% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The voucher gap is 20.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Average gross rent is $3,501, 17% above the Irvine average of $2,997. Disability prevalence reaches 18.1% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.1/10. Food insecurity affects 8.5% of adults, 9.3 points below the national rate. Among the 28 mapped neighborhoods of Irvine, it ranks #27 by risk, the lower third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Rainbow Ridge and Lower Peters Canyon. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $177,863.
One tract means one number: 6.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
