Kāhala Eviction Risk: Moderate

What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.4/10.

30% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. The severe-burden share is 12%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. 3.3% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.3/10. Among the 20 mapped neighborhoods of Urban Honolulu, it ranks #19 by risk, the lower third. Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

For a like-for-like read, Nuʻuanu and Kaimukī score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.1 points apart at the extremes.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
