Kaimukī spans 3 census tracts of Urban Honolulu, HI, population 7,665. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.5/10, in the Moderate tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10.
The severe-burden share is 25%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.4/10.
Average gross rent is $2,256, 24% above the Urban Honolulu average of $1,823. Cost burden runs 39% against 32.4% citywide, putting Kaimukī 6.8% over its own city.
3.5% 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. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.3/10. SNAP participation is 6.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
That places it #19 of 20 neighborhoods in Urban Honolulu. For a like-for-like read, Nuʻuanu and Kāhala score within a fraction of it.
Against average income of $139,499, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
With little internal variation, 5.5/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
