Newport Shores Eviction Risk: Elevated , Costa Mesa

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.3/10. 17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

At $2,611 a month, rents run 21% under what the rest of Newport Beach commands. Food insecurity runs 9.3% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 8.0% against 15.2% nationally.

Against the Orange County average of 7.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points. Nationally it ranks #16,571 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
