Waialae-Kahala Eviction Risk: Moderate , Urban Honolulu

At $2,486 a month, rents run 36% over what the rest of Urban Honolulu commands. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.4/10.

19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 1.7/10. SNAP participation runs 6.9% against 15.2% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the national scale it lands near the 73rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

49% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Honolulu County average of 6.0 closely. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $135,962.

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.
