Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Puuohala Village

Average gross rent is $1,282, 41% below the Waihee-Waiehu average. Against the Maui County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.5 points.

The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.7/10.

Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.8/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 12 filings here across 1 tracked years.

Filings peaked in 2018 at 2.9% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.9% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 33rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 15% 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. Social vulnerability reads 5.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $121,400, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the HI average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.3 points cooler.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
