Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Wahiawa
Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.9/10. 73% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.
It sits 1.8 points above the Honolulu County average of 6.0. Food insecurity runs 33.5% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Average gross rent is $1,148, 26% below the Wahiawa average. On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 1.7/10. SNAP participation runs 27.3% against 15.2% nationally.
Against Honolulu County at 50.9%, 55% of renters here are cost-burdened. Nationally it ranks #9,043 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
