Analysis

What drives eviction risk in West Loch

Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1/10. 27% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.7/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.2/10.

Food insecurity runs 28.7% against 17.8% nationally. Against the Honolulu County average of 6.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points. Average gross rent is $1,440, 13% below the Waipahu average.

That is riskier than roughly 84% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 7.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $98,750, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the HI average is 5.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

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