Kapaʻa Homesteads spans 2 census tracts of Kapaa, HI, population 8,579. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs roughly one in two against 32.5% citywide, putting Kapaʻa Homesteads 16.4% over its own city.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.6/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10.
11% 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. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Its 2 tracts score within 0.7 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Average gross rent runs $1,962, close to the Kapaa average.
Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $86,822. 35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 5.8/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
