Eleele CDP, HI in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Eleele CDP is a small town in Hawaii, with 2,339 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #93 of 163 ranked by population — larger than 43% of them. The median age here is 38.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Eleele CDP earn a median of $122,308 a year, 55.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 33% above the $92,062 median for the 124 Hawaii cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 5.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Eleele CDP is valued at $684,900, 125.7% above the national figure and 11% below the $768,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,348 a month, 4.1% below the national figure, or roughly $16,176 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 70.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
