Analysis

What drives eviction risk in The Arts District

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. 24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against the Honolulu County average of 6.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points.

This is renter territory: 76% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Set annual rent against average income of $57,500 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.7/10.

At $1,598 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Urban Honolulu commands. On the national scale it lands near the 91st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the HI average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.1 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for about half of renters.

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