23% 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. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.2/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 6.1 to 7.8, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.9/10. Court records for this tract carry 8 eviction filings. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.6/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2018 at 1.8% of renter households. Judgments average 0.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Average gross rent runs $2,148, close to the Kihei average.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
