ZIP Code 96757

In ZIP code 96757, near Haiku, homes carry a median value of $485,400, while the county-level effective property tax rate sits at just 0.16%. That combination yields an annual tax bill far below what most Hawaii homeowners pay. Households here earn a median of $74,432, and per-capita income reaches $23,050, so the gap between what a home costs and what residents bring in is substantial. A 4.50% combined sales tax applies to purchases. Buying at these prices demands significant income or equity, yet the unusually light property tax keeps ongoing ownership costs from compounding that challenge.
