ZIP Code 96731

In ZIP code 96731, near Honolulu, households bring in a median of $73,417, while per-capita income sits at $35,455 — an earnings profile that leans middle-income rather than wealthy. Home values tell a different story, with a median of $916,700, yet the county-level effective property tax rate of just 0.28% keeps annual property taxes low despite those lofty valuations. Add a combined sales tax of 4.50%, and the overall tax picture stays gentle on the wallet. This is a place where middle-tier earnings coexist with high housing prices, softened by unusually low taxation on property and purchases alike.
