Quail Hill is a one-tract suburb of Irvine, CA and houses 7,516 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7.5/10, Elevated tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10.
27% 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. 66% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. 39% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Irvine rate of 31.5%.
The voucher gap is 13.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. 4.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. At $3,294 a month, rents sit 10% over what the rest of Irvine commands.
Among the 28 mapped neighborhoods of Irvine, it ranks #8 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Westpark and El Camino Real score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $186,522.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
