Wahiawa Eviction Risk: Elevated

SNAP participation runs 40.8% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 48%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

This is renter territory: 88% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.9/10.

Against the Honolulu County average of 6.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.8 points. Housing insecurity runs 25.8% against 14.2% nationally. Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

At $1,284 a month, rents run 17% under what the rest of Wahiawa commands. Nationally it ranks #9,043 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the HI average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.9 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 54% of renters.

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.
