Honolulu, HI — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP code 96858, which covers part of Honolulu, the average person earns $35,342 a year. That income stretches differently than on the mainland, since Hawaii's costs run high, but the tax side looks gentle. County property taxes come in at just 0.28% of a home's value, so owning a place here won't drain a paycheck the way it might elsewhere. Sales tax adds 4.50% at the register, a cost shoppers absorb on everyday purchases. Together these rates leave a household's earnings to cover housing, food, and the rest of life in the islands.
