Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Koele

What moves this score most is eviction process difficulty at 5.6/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Lanai City, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores well below the Maui County average of 5.2 and below the Hawaii statewide average of 5.1. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

The tract is Asian and multiracial or other-race and ranks around the 65th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 4 eviction filings here over 1 tracked years, with about 0.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 0.8% of renter households in 2018.

For a landlord, this is among the easier places to operate: faster process, lighter tenant-protection overhead, and shorter typical cases.
