📊 Notes on “Wealthiest” Definitions

• Income vs. Property Value: Some lists rank ZIP codes by home values rather than income. For example, 96714 (Hanalei, Kauaʻi) and 96754 (Kilauea, Kauaʻi) show very high median home prices — in some reports even the highest in Hawaiʻi — though they might not always top income-based lists.

• Urban trends: Honolulu areas such as 96814 (Ala Moana/Kakaʻako) have been highlighted in some analyses for real estate price or per-capita wealth, even if not top of income tables.

🏡 What This Means

ZIP codes with the highest household incomes tend to reflect:

• High-earning professionals

• Expensive housing markets

• Established, affluent neighborhoods

But “wealthiest” can vary depending on whether you refer to income, property values, or a combination.
