A typical home is worth about $772,800.
HUD's fair-market rent for a 2-bedroom in Hawaii County is $2,081 a month. That is the county number, not an apartment listing in Kaiminani. It runs from October 2026 through September 2027.
Hawaii's prices sit at 110.0 when the U.S. average is 100. This place is not in a metro area with its own index, so this is the state number from BEA for 2024.

In July 2026, a typical Hawaii home paid 48.00¢ per kilowatt-hour. That is a state average from EIA, not Kaiminani's bill.
