At $2,161 a month, rents sit 9% over what the rest of Pupukea commands. Only 28% of units are renter-occupied.

Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $104,844.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
