ZIP Code 96761

In ZIP code 96761, near Haiku, the median home value of $995,800 towers over the median household income of $101,123, a gap that makes buying here a stretch for many earners. The county's effective property tax rate of 0.16% keeps annual taxes on that median home near $1,600, so the tax itself stays contained even as prices climb. Per-capita income sits at $57,411, well below what a nearly million-dollar home might imply. A combined sales tax of 4.50% adds a bit more to everyday costs, though the property tax line remains the lighter piece of the housing equation.
