Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Waikele

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.3/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.6/10.

Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.7/10. It sits 1.0 points below the Honolulu County average of 6.0.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the national scale it lands near the 61st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 17% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 7.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $128,438, annual rent is just 17%.

Statewide the HI average is 5.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
