Pālolo is a one-tract suburb of Urban Honolulu, HI and houses 3,157 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.8/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Urban Honolulu baseline of 32.4%, 48% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 35%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.3/10. At $2,098 a month, rents sit 15% over what the rest of Urban Honolulu commands.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.8/10. That places it #9 of 20 neighborhoods in Urban Honolulu. For a like-for-like read, Lower Mānoa and Salt Lake score within a fraction of it.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $110,750. 32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
