Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Hawai’i Kai

Against the Honolulu County average of 6.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points. Running cool, economic stress reads 2.6/10.

SNAP participation runs 6.6% against 15.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Nationally it ranks #34,278 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
