Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Kalihi Valley

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.5/10.

Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.7/10. At $2,250 a month, rents run 23% over what the rest of Urban Honolulu commands. 13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Nationally it ranks #19,618 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 24% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Social vulnerability reads 6.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Honolulu County average of 6.0 closely.

Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $118,239.
