Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Wailua House Lots
What moves this score most is rent-control risk at 9.3/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Kauai County average of 4.8 and above the Hawaii statewide average of 5.1. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
In CDC survey modeling, about 10.7% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 6.8% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
The tract is White and Asian and ranks around the 39th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
