Sandcastle maps to a single census tract in Newport Beach, CA and houses 2,646 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.5/10, Elevated tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10.
Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.7/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 5.3% of adults, 12.5 points below the national rate. Cost burden runs 28% against 31.6% citywide, putting Sandcastle 3.5% under its own city. Average gross rent is $2,970, 10% below the Newport Beach average of $3,316.
That places it #8 of 14 neighborhoods in Newport Beach. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $168,808.
34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.5/10 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.
