Puuohala Village maps to a single census tract in Waihee-Waiehu, HI and houses 7,636 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.6/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs about a quarter against 40.8% citywide, putting Puuohala Village 17.4% under its own city.
At $1,282 a month, rents sit 41% under what the rest of Waihee-Waiehu commands. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.7/10.
Severe burden reaches 19%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 12 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2018, when filings touched 2.9% of renter households.
Judgments average 1.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 15% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
