Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Waimalu

Against the Honolulu County average of 6.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.6 points. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.4/10. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.7/10.

The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. SNAP participation runs 5.6% against 15.2% nationally. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.4% against 11.3% nationally.

On the national scale it lands near the 29th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 21% 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.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.1/10. Statewide the HI average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.5 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent is $2,393, close to the Pearl City average.

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.
