In ZIP code 96740, near Captain Cook, households earn a median of $95,542, with per-capita income at $47,557. Homes here carry a median value of $760,600, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.28% translates to roughly $2,130 annually on such a home. Combined with a 4.50% sales tax on purchases, the overall cost picture blends substantial housing wealth with a comparatively gentle property levy and a sales tax that sits below what many U.S. jurisdictions charge. Income levels support the elevated home values, though the gap between typical earnings and median property prices shapes day-to-day finances in this part of Hawaii.
