City Center spans 2 census tracts of Kalaeloa, HI, population 14,548. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6/10, in the Elevated tier. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5 to 9.9, a 4.9-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
71% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Kalaeloa rate of 34.1%. The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.2/10. The voucher gap is 10.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Average gross rent runs $2,967, close to the Kalaeloa average. Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $116,601. 43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 4.9 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
