Moanalua Valley is a one-tract suburb of Urban Honolulu, HI and houses 1,746 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.7/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Urban Honolulu baseline of 32.4%, 53% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
At $2,788 a month, rents sit 53% over what the rest of Urban Honolulu commands. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.5/10.
Severe burden reaches 16%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.3/10.
4.6% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. That places it #14 of 20 neighborhoods in Urban Honolulu. For a like-for-like read, Waialae-Kahala and Pacific Heights score within a fraction of it.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $136,111.
46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
