Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Moiliili

88% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10.

25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $50,766, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.7/10.

Against the Honolulu County average of 6.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. Against Honolulu County at 50.9%, 57% of renters here are cost-burdened. At $1,492 a month, rents run 18% under what the rest of Urban Honolulu commands.

On the national scale it lands near the 88th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.2/10. Statewide the HI average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
