The Arts District is a 16-tract neighborhood of Urban Honolulu, HI and houses 44,976 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7.5/10, Elevated tier. Against a Urban Honolulu baseline of 32.4%, 47% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.2/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 5.8 to 8, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
17% 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. Average gross rent is $1,429, 22% below the Urban Honolulu average of $1,823. The poverty rate is 17%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.3/10. That places it #2 of 20 neighborhoods in Urban Honolulu. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $74,700. 64% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
