What the numbers mean in Makawao CDP
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Makawao CDP median would spend about 21.2% of gross income on the median rent. The 30% mark is the federal threshold for cost burden, so anything above it signals a stretched rental market. The median home costs 8.5× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 10.5% of residents and 65.1% of households own their home.
