Woodbury Square is a one-tract neighborhood of Irvine, CA, population 7,852. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.9/10, in the Elevated tier. 53% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Irvine rate of 31.5%.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. 19% 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. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.8/10.
3.8% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Food insecurity affects 8.2% of adults, 9.6 points below the national rate. That places it #16 of 28 neighborhoods in Irvine.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Woodbury Lane and The Groves. Average gross rent runs $2,905, close to the Irvine average. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $129,958.
64% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
