Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Waikele

The severe-burden share is 37%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.4/10. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.7/10. It sits 1.1 points below the Honolulu County average of 6.0.

Average gross rent is $1,449, 13% below the Waipahu average. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Nationally it ranks #34,278 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 6% 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. Social vulnerability reads 7.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 12% of average household income of $143,929, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the HI average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

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.
