Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Kāhala

At $3,501 a month, rents run 92% over what the rest of Urban Honolulu commands. What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. The voucher gap is 30.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.4/10. On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 1.7/10. Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Housing insecurity runs 5.6% against 14.2% nationally. Adults with no health insurance runs 2.9% against 11.3% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 72nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 19% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.9/10. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Honolulu County average of 6.0 closely.

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