Waiohinu CDP, HI in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Waiohinu CDP is a very small community in Hawaii, with 159 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #158 of 163 ranked by population — larger than 3% of them. The median age here is 34.9 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 Waiohinu CDP earn a median of $67,813 a year, 13.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 26% below 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 40.5% 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 Waiohinu CDP is valued at $376,200, 24% above the national figure and 51% below the $768,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 77.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

With 159 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Waiohinu CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Waiohinu 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.
