Analysis

What drives eviction risk in West Loch

Severe burden reaches 31%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 8.9/10.

Running cool, economic stress reads 1.1/10. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.7/10.

Average gross rent is $2,591, 11% below the Royal Kunia average. Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 15% 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 5.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Honolulu County average of 6.0 closely.

Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $110,625.

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.
