Volcano Golf Course, HI population, income and ZIP codes

Volcano Golf Course CDP is a very small community in Hawaii, with 909 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #129 of 163 ranked by population — larger than 20% of them. The median age here is 61.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Volcano Golf Course CDP earn a median of $138,726 a year, 76.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 51% above the $92,062 median for the 124 Hawaii cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 1.1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Volcano Golf Course CDP is valued at $516,700, 70.3% above the national figure and 33% below the $768,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 88.7% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 61.3 puts Volcano Golf Course CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 909 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Volcano Golf Course CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Volcano Golf Course CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
