· range 6.6–6.6
West Kapolei maps to a single census tract in Ko Olina, HI and houses 1,884 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.6/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. 40% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Against a Ko Olina baseline of 33.0%, roughly two in three of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Set annual rent against average household income of $87,353 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
Average gross rent is $2,453, 30% below the Ko Olina average of $3,501. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 2/10.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.7/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.6/10. 42% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
