Mānoa Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 2,426 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.4/10 · range 5.4–5.4

Mānoa maps to a single census tract in Urban Honolulu, HI, population 2,426. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 48%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Cost burden runs 50% against 32.4% citywide, putting Mānoa 17.9% over its own city. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10.

Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.9/10. 2.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Food insecurity affects 8.2% of adults, 9.6 points below the national rate.

Among the 20 mapped neighborhoods of Urban Honolulu, it ranks #20 by risk, the lower third. Only 20% 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.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Nuʻuanu and Kaimukī. Rent takes 11% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,857, close to the Urban Honolulu average.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
