Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Hawaii Kai

39% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the Honolulu County average of 50.9%. The voucher gap is 30.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. It sits 1.8 points below the Honolulu County average of 6.0.

On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 1.7/10. On the high side, supply constraint reads 8/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 3.9% against 11.3% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

That is riskier than roughly 46% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 8% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 4.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the HI average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.7 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
