At $1,487 a month, rents run 18% under what the rest of Urban Honolulu commands. Nationally it ranks #7,836 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 9.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the HI average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.1 points hotter.
