Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Waikele
Running cool, economic stress reads 1.1/10. Against Honolulu County at 50.9%, 41% of renters here are cost-burdened.
The severe-burden share is 19%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.7/10.
It sits 1.0 points below the Honolulu County average of 6.0. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.8% against 11.3% nationally.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the national scale it lands near the 61st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 8% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the HI average is 5.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
