Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Keawakapu

Against Maui County at 48.5%, 72% of renters here are cost-burdened. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10.

Annualized rent equals 44% of average household income of $81,056, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The voucher gap is 27.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

At $2,951 a month, rents run 16% over what the rest of Wailea commands. The filing record is not thin: 2 evictions over 1 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2018, when 0.5% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 0.5% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #10,727 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
