Kumulani Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 6,223 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.7/10 · range 5.1–6.3

Kumulani spans 2 census tracts of Makakilo, HI, population 6,223. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.7/10, Moderate tier. roughly two in three of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Makakilo rate of 40.8%.

The severe-burden share is 35%. 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 9.1/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.3/10.

Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 5.1 to 6.3, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 3/10.

5.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Average gross rent runs $2,164, close to the Makakilo average. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $111,503.

28% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
