Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Waimalu
The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Average gross rent is $2,613, 35% above the Waimalu average.
Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.7/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.9/10. It sits 1.1 points below the Honolulu County average of 6.0.
Adults with no health insurance runs 3.7% against 11.3% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. That is riskier than roughly 59% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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.
