Nuʻuanu is a one-tract suburb of Urban Honolulu, HI and houses 2,518 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.5/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 45% against 32.4% citywide, putting Nuʻuanu 12.3% over its own city.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.2/10. Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Average gross rent is $2,158, 18% above the Urban Honolulu average of $1,823. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.3/10.
3.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. SNAP participation is 6.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Among the 20 mapped neighborhoods of Urban Honolulu, it ranks #19 by risk, the lower third. At 19% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Kaimukī and Kāhala score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $133,348, 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.
One tract means one number: 5.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
