Kaunakakai at a Glance

Kaunakakai, the largest and principal town of tranquil Molokai - the Hawaiian island without traffic lights, is located on the south coast. The town, 55 miles from Honolulu and the main shopping hub of the island, has “mom and pop” stores selling gifts, gourmet liquor, groceries, medicines, hardware etc. Highlights of the 3-block-town include Ala Malama Street , Kaunakakai Wharf , Kaunakakai Skate Park , Kaunakakai Ball Park and world-renowned freshly baked hot onion-and-cheese bread. Barges and tug boats deliver all essential items at the Kaunakakai Wharf surrounded by good surfing spots. In the past, sugar and pineapple plantations dotted this port town where King Kamehameha V used to spend summer.

According to the United States Census 2000, only 2,726 people lived in this small town, stretching over 3.12 square mile area(8.08 square kilometers). The population density stood at 1,342.7 people per square mile of land area. Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander accounted for 30.7% of the total population, followed by Asian (28.8%), White (8.6%), Hispanic or Latino of any race (5.6%), American Indian and Alaska Native (0.1%) and other races (0.2%). About 31% of population belonged to “two or more races”.

The median household income amounted to $34,492 in 1999. The median family income was $39,348 and per capita income aggregated $14, 201. Slightly more than 20% population lived below poverty line. Full-time male workers earned median income of $30, 543 but their female counterparts earned just $22,337.
