Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Southpointe at Waiakoa

35% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $76,042, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The main counterweight is court filing pressure at 1.8/10.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.2/10. Against the Maui County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.9/10.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 8 filings here across 1 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2018 at 1.8% of renter households. In a typical year about 1.8% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 88th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.5/10.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
