Fresh.Data current as of Apr 24, 2026
East Honolulu, HI (ZIP 96821) sits in Honolulu County within the Urban Honolulu metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Obesity comes in below the national average at 20.7%. NCES lists 3 schools serving the area, 3 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $13,580. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $184,204, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Federal QCEW filings show 453,193 covered jobs in this ZIP's primary county — a major regional employment hub. FDIC counts just 2 bank branches in this ZIP (Summary of Deposits, 2024) — residents likely lean on neighboring ZIPs or online banking for most services. Social vulnerability is low in this ZIP at the 22th percentile (CDC SVI), reflecting strong baseline resilience to public-health emergencies and natural disasters. FEMA has issued 23 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1974 — a high-frequency exposure profile. NOAA's 1991–2020 Climate Normals put the annual average temperature at 75.8°F here — among the warmest in the country. Only 4.0% of residents under 65 are uninsured (County Health Rankings, 2025) — well below the national county median. 25.2% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. Hawaii levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 11.00%); a household at the local median AGI of $184,204 would pay roughly $12,157/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 6,933 residents (2,333 households) — the ZIP's primary county is shrinking. Healthcare access is the area's quieter strength; school options sit on the lighter side, so families may find themselves looking at districts a few ZIPs over. Notable: median household income $158,665, fair market rent of $3,550 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $1,812,012, up 3.6% over the past year. Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.

What these numbers say together
East Honolulu, HI (ZIP 96821) sits in Honolulu County within the Urban Honolulu metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Obesity comes in below the national average at 20.7%. NCES lists 3 schools serving the area, 3 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $13,580. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $184,204, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Federal QCEW filings show 453,193 covered jobs in this ZIP's primary county — a major regional employment hub. FDIC counts just 2 bank branches in this ZIP (Summary of Deposits, 2024) — residents likely lean on neighboring ZIPs or online banking for most services. Social vulnerability is low in this ZIP at the 22th percentile (CDC SVI), reflecting strong baseline resilience to public-health emergencies and natural disasters. FEMA has issued 23 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1974 — a high-frequency exposure profile. NOAA's 1991–2020 Climate Normals put the annual average temperature at 75.8°F here — among the warmest in the country. Only 4.0% of residents under 65 are uninsured (County Health Rankings, 2025) — well below the national county median. 25.2% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. Hawaii levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 11.00%); a household at the local median AGI of $184,204 would pay roughly $12,157/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 6,933 residents (2,333 households) — the ZIP's primary county is shrinking. Healthcare access is the area's quieter strength; school options sit on the lighter side, so families may find themselves looking at districts a few ZIPs over. Notable: median household income $158,665, fair market rent of $3,550 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $1,812,012, up 3.6% over the past year. Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.
The two domains pull in different directions. Healthcare access reads strong, but the on-paper school count is on the lighter side — that’s less a quality signal and more a density one. Households here often look at districts a few ZIPs over for school choice while keeping their providers local.
- With fair market rent at $3,550/month (HUD SAFMR) and median household income at $158,665 (Census ACS), housing costs represent approximately 27% of income.
- A median household income of $158,665 (Census ACS) aligns with a 20.7% obesity rate (CDC PLACES), below the ~33% national figure — a pattern that correlates with higher-income areas.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits lower the national rate at 12.8%. Each figure on this page links to the original federal dataset with its retrieval date — this synthesis is a reading, not a substitute for the underlying records.
