Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Kāhala

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.3/10. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.7/10.

Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. SNAP participation runs 7.4% against 15.2% nationally. At $2,063 a month, rents run 13% over what the rest of Urban Honolulu commands.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Nationally it ranks #22,681 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 24% 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. Social vulnerability reads 3.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 51% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

It tracks the Honolulu County average of 6.0 closely. Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $128,571.

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.
