Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Downtown

30% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $79,545, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 1.7/10. It sits 1.6 points above the Honolulu County average of 6.0.

Average gross rent is $2,197, 21% above the Urban Honolulu average. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.3/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 3.4% against 11.3% nationally. SNAP participation runs 7.4% against 15.2% nationally. Nationally it ranks #9,927 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
