North Bluff is a one-tract neighborhood of Newport Beach, CA and houses 1,666 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.6/10, Elevated tier. 51% 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.
51% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Newport Beach rate of 31.6%. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.8/10. The voucher gap is 20.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. 3.3% 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.
3.6% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. On the high side is supply constraint at 7.1/10.
That places it #5 of 14 neighborhoods in Newport Beach. Only 7% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Pelican Ridge and The Bluffs. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Average gross rent runs $3,501, close to the Newport Beach average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.6/10 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.
