Woodbridge Eviction Risk: Elevated

2 census tracts · pop 12,481 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.8/10 · range 6.7–6.9

Woodbridge spans 2 census tracts of Irvine, CA, population 12,481. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.8/10, Elevated tier. Cost burden runs roughly one in two against 31.5% citywide, putting Woodbridge 19.8% over its own city.

The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Running cool is economic stress, at 1.3/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.7% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 7.8% of adults, 10.0 points below the national rate.

At $2,627 a month, rents sit 12% under what the rest of Irvine commands. That places it #20 of 28 neighborhoods in Irvine. For a like-for-like read, Turtle Rock Crest and Laguna Altura score within a fraction of it.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Its 2 tracts score within 0.2 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $131,551. 38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
