1 census tracts · pop 4,951 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.7/10 · range 6.7–6.7

Newport Hills maps to a single census tract in Newport Beach, CA and houses 4,951 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.7/10, in the Elevated tier. 49% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent.

Food insecurity affects 6.7% of adults, 11.1 points below the national rate. 3.6% 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. Average gross rent is $2,955, 11% below the Newport Beach average of $3,316.

Among the 14 mapped neighborhoods of Newport Beach, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Jasmine Creek and One Ford Road score within a fraction of it.

Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $133,750. 47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
