It sits 2.0 points above the Honolulu County average of 6.0.

Food insecurity runs 33.3% against 17.8% nationally. Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.7/10.

The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. SNAP participation runs 25.9% against 15.2% nationally.

Against Honolulu County at 50.9%, 47% of renters here are cost-burdened. Average gross rent is $1,603, 12% below the Urban Honolulu average.

On the national scale it lands near the 91st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 9.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
