Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Pearl Highlands

It sits 2.5 points below the Honolulu County average of 6.0. The severe-burden share is 26%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.3/10.

On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 1.7/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.1/10. At $1,904 a month, rents run 18% under what the rest of Pearl City commands.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the national scale it lands near the 31st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 11% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $138,750, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the HI average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.4 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
