Hawaiian Beaches, HI population, income and ZIP codes

Hawaiian Beaches CDP is a small town in Hawaii, with 4,503 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #63 of 163 ranked by population — larger than 61% of them. The median age here is 43.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Hawaiian Beaches CDP earn a median of $42,154 a year, 46.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 54% below the $92,062 median for the 124 Hawaii cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 36.1% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hawaiian Beaches CDP is valued at $247,500, 18.4% below the national figure and 68% below the $768,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,639 a month, 16.6% above the national figure, or roughly $19,668 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 46.7% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is severely stretched — a median-income renter clears the cost-burden line by a wide margin before utilities beyond the gross-rent definition. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 85.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
