Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Lower Peters Canyon

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Food insecurity runs 8.4% against 17.8% nationally. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.6% against 11.3% nationally.

The voucher gap is 13.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 6.9/10.

Average gross rent is $3,281, 9% above the Irvine average. On the national scale it lands near the 81st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 55% of renters. It tracks the Orange County average of 7.0 closely.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
