How the Hawaii county reports are scored: each Hawaii report reads its county's foreclosure filings, Hawaii tax-lien and tax-deed records, FHA mortgage delinquency in Hawaii (ninety-day rate 0.7%, December 2025), the FDIC stress of Hawaii lenders (6 chartered in Hawaii) and FEMA/NFIP pressure on Hawaii (588 NFIP claims, three years), then scores every Hawaii ZIP 0-100.
Hawaii County leads Hawaii on the opportunity index at #67 nationally with 28 scored ZIPs. Every Hawaii report is rebuilt monthly from public records; a Hawaii county whose data lapses keeps its Hawaii page and says so.
