Kealaula Kai maps to a single census tract in East Honolulu, HI and houses 3,079 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 100% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the East Honolulu rate of 35.0%.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. The voucher gap is 30.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 8/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. SNAP participation is 6.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.1/10. That places it #7 of 10 neighborhoods in East Honolulu.
Only 3% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Hawaii Kai and Kamilonui Valley. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $3,501, close to the East Honolulu average. Annual rent works out to 32% of average household income of $132,933.
One tract means one number: 4.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
