Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Pearl Highlands

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.5/10. Against the Honolulu County average of 6.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.0 points. On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 1.7/10.

SNAP participation runs 8.0% against 15.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

On the national scale it lands near the 42nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 19% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.7/10.

Statewide the HI average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.9 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent is $2,299, close to the Pearl City average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $112,917.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
