Balboa Village maps to a single census tract in Newport Beach, CA, population 2,346. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.2/10, Elevated tier. 45% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Newport Beach rate of 31.6%.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. 26% 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. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10.
Food insecurity affects 4.5% of adults, 13.3 points below the national rate. At $2,736 a month, rents sit 17% under what the rest of Newport Beach commands.
SNAP participation is 3.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally. That places it #12 of 14 neighborhoods in Newport Beach. For a like-for-like read, Belcourt and Granville score within a fraction of it.
Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $162,045.
49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.2/10 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.
