Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Pearl Highlands

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Set annual rent against average income of $95,947 and the ratio lands at 38%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Cost burden runs 63% here against 50.9% across Honolulu County.

This is renter territory: 78% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. At $3,000 a month, rents run 30% over what the rest of Pearl City commands. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.7/10.

It sits 1.7 points below the Honolulu County average of 6.0. That is riskier than roughly 47% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the HI average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.6 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
