Living in Kula



Kula is a somewhat small coastal town (i.e. on the ocean, a bay, or inlet) located in the state of Hawaii. With a population of 6,942 people and two associated neighborhoods, Kula is the 26th largest community in Hawaii.

Of important note, Kula is also a town of artists. Kula has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Kula’s character.

Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 15.48% of people work from home. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce it is high relative to the nation. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

It is a fairly quiet town because there are relatively few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. (Children, for example, often can't help themselves from being noisy, and being parents ourselves, we know!) Kula has relatively few families with children living at home, and is quieter because of it. Renters and college students, for their own reasons, can also be noisy. Kula has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Kula than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Kula may be for you.

One of the nice things about Kula is that it is nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Because of this, visitors and locals will often go to these areas to take in the scenery or to enjoy waterfront activities.

The citizens of Kula are very well educated compared to the average community in the nation: 39.11% of adults in Kula have a bachelor's degree or even advanced degree.

The per capita income in Kula in 2018 was $51,104, which is wealthy relative to Hawaii and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $204,416 for a family of four. However, Kula contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
