Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Hawai’i Kai

Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The voucher gap is 30.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 1.7/10.

It sits 1.6 points below the Honolulu County average of 6.0. Running hot, supply constraint reads 8/10. SNAP participation runs 4.3% against 15.2% nationally.

Adults with no health insurance runs 2.4% against 11.3% nationally. 55% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Honolulu County average of 50.9%.

Nationally it ranks #42,813 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 22% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the HI average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.5 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

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.
