Maunaloa at a Glance
Maunaloa
is located on the western side of Molokai. In 2000
the total population was 230.
But even though it's a small village, Maunaloa is home to people from diverse
ethnicity backgrounds. Approximately 16% of the population is
Caucasian, 19% are Asian, 0.5% African American and about 35% are Pacific Islanders.
Hispanic and Latinos make up 5% and the rest have a mixed background of two or more ethnicities.
The majority of the population used to work at Molokai Ranch, which closed
in March 2008. The ranch was the largest employer in the
area and after its closure, Maunaloa residents were forced
to look for jobs elsewhere, many of whom still can’t
find one.
Before Molokai Ranch closed, the medium household
income was $22,232 and already
a quarter of the population lived below the poverty line.
Maunaloa's zip code is 96770.
