Anahola at a Glance
Approximately 110 miles NW of Honolulu, Anahola is located
on Hawaii route 56 in the eastern coast of Kauai. Still
largely undeveloped, this pristine, laid-back village nevertheless
boasts of state-protected scuba diving and snorkeling sites.
It offers the beauty of nature in their undisturbed states.
Stalls selling flavored ice shaves, fresh leis, and local
Hawaiian dishes including the tourist-favorite Anahola Granola
and Maca Mania Bar.
According to a 2000 census, around 1,932 people dwell
in Anahola. Among those who have taken residence in Anahola
are Hispanics, Caucasians, Asians, Native Americans, and
African Americans. Taking 48% of the ethnic distribution,
Pacific Islanders and Native Hawaiians comprised the largest
part of the population.
In 2000, 14.7% live below the poverty line. The average
household income is $41, 772 while the average income for
a family is $41, 302. Females earned more at an average
of $27,000 compared to males’ $25, 875.
Once a thriving economic center with sugar plantations
and mills, Anahola shows little trace of its once-booming
industry. In 1991, a typhoon destroyed most of its agricultural
properties and infrastructures. There’s also a controversy
surrounding the selling of some land properties in Anahola
by the government. Originally set aside for Hawaiian Natives
at an affordable price, some were suddenly put up for sale
to non-natives as long as they are at least of half-Hawaiian
lineage. The lands were sold at around $4,000--- a sum beyond
the capacity of most natives who have taken home in Anahola
for a long time. Until today, the issue remains unresolved.
Anahola’s zip code is 96703.
