Red Hill Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 1,714 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.9/10 · range 7.9–7.9

Red Hill maps to a single census tract in Urban Honolulu, HI, population 1,714. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.9/10, in the Elevated tier. Severe burden reaches 49%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Annualized rent equals 56% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. Cost burden runs 62% against 32.4% citywide, putting Red Hill 29.8% over its own city. At $3,501 a month, rents sit 92% over what the rest of Urban Honolulu commands.

96% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10.

The voucher gap is 30.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. On the high side is supply constraint at 8/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.3/10. Among the 20 mapped neighborhoods of Urban Honolulu, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.

For a like-for-like read, The Arts District and Moiliili score within a fraction of it.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
