Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Waimalu

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Against the Honolulu County average of 6.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.0 points. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.7/10.

That is riskier than roughly 42% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.2/10. Statewide the HI average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent is $2,266, close to the Pearl City average.

Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $104,504. 32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
