UCI - North Campus Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 12,918 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 9.2/10 · range 9.2–9.2

UCI - North Campus is a one-tract suburb of Irvine, CA, population 12,918. The Eviction Risk Score is 9.2/10, in the High tier. Against a Irvine baseline of 31.5%, 53% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

This is a renter market: 83% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Set annual rent against average household income of $107,287 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The poverty rate is 25%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Among the 28 mapped neighborhoods of Irvine, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Average gross rent runs $2,949, close to the Irvine average.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 9.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
