Pacific Heights is a one-tract suburb of Urban Honolulu, HI and houses 2,705 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.6/10, in the Moderate tier. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10.
Against a Urban Honolulu baseline of 32.4%, 22% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Running cool 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. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.6/10. At $2,036 a month, rents sit 12% over what the rest of Urban Honolulu commands.
5.2% 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 #15 by risk, the lower third.
Only 13% 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 Kalihi and Kāhala.
Against average income of $135,781, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
