Moiliili Eviction Risk: Elevated

33 census tracts · pop 70,696 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.4/10 · range 5.3–8

Moiliili is a 33-tract neighborhood of Urban Honolulu, HI and houses 70,696 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.4/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a Urban Honolulu baseline of 32.4%, about half of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. 28% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

The 33 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.3 to 8, a 2.7-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.8/10.

Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.3/10. 4.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

Among the 20 mapped neighborhoods of Urban Honolulu, it ranks #4 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, The Arts District and Downtown score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $1,775, close to the Urban Honolulu average.

Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $76,486. 60% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
