Hawaii is tied for 4th with California.
It has $191,000 in the middle class and $64,000 in the lower income bracket.
You can imagine that Hawaii has a tremendous higher income class than New York.

＃ To 2anon
＞ Middle (中間) means Average.

I know you don't understand what Topi means at all, because you don't understand Middle and Average either.
I guess he also doesn't understand that the median is not the mean,
it's just a data graph of the middle class in 2025,
he doesn't understand even if I kindly calculate and tell him the median,
he doesn't understand anymore, so I think it's okay to ignore him.

I'm surprised Massachusetts is #1.
It's amazing that you have to make over $200,000 to be upper class ！ ！.

Annual middle class income in Hawaii in 2025 depends on several studies and definitions.
Here are data from several sources.

SmartAsset (survey for 2025):

Annual Income Range: approx $ 63,542 ～ $ 190,644
Visual Capitalist (based on SmartAsset data )}:

Annual Income Range: $ 63,542 ～ $ 190,644
Newsweek (based on SmartAsset data):

Annual Income Range: $ 63,542 $ 190,644
These studies define the middle class range as "two-thirds to twice the state median household income."
Given Hawaii's high cost of living, the middle class income range is also high.

I had a $250,000 annual income when I lived in NY and never felt like a high income earner.
Now I've lived in Hawaii for 10 years and only make $150,000 a year, but it's a lot easier there.

What I think makes the difference is that property taxes and HOAs are incredibly cheap in Hawaii.

Ten years ago in NY, we paid $25,000/year in property taxes and $2,400/month in HOA fees (not including electricity, gas, and telecom ）.
Monthly payment of approximately $4,500

Currently in Hawaii, annual property tax of $1,200 and HOA Fee of $1,400 per month(Electricity、Gas、Communications included ）.
Monthly payment of $1,500

Taxes and HOA can go up but not down, so this is a big difference.

New Jersey and Massachusetts seem to be in the same building
I used to live in NJ and the cost of living was definitely cheaper.

Property Taxes are not as high as in some places where school taxes are tens of thousands of dollars at the school district level,
Gasoline was cheaper, groceries (except luxury items ） Clothing and shoes are tax free and NJ was easy to live in.
NJ has different sales tax rates for different counties, so I sometimes went to the city with the lowest sales tax to buy electrical appliances.

NYC has a city tax, so many people lived in NJ and commuted to NYC.

NJ was nice,,

#17 Dear New Jersey

Since school taxes make up a large percentage of property taxes,
Hawaii may be best taxed without school taxes.

Kakaako has a large percentage of out-of-state residents, so the legislature is considering whether to introduce a school tax.

Tennis Courts at Ala Moana Beach Park

  • Alamoana Tennis

There has been a protest against the conversion of 2-3 tennis court spaces at Ala Moana Beach Park into dedicated pickleball courts.
Pickleball's reasons are that "tennis is becoming less popular" and "I don't see anyone using the tennis courts". However, the courts at Ala Moana Beach Park are the busiest tennis courts in Honolulu. There is no reason why you would not see people using the courts, unless it is raining or there is a storm.
Pickleball is very popular and I enjoy playing pickleball myself. New pickleball courts are popping up in Kakaako, Manoa, Hawaii Kai, and Kehi, which is great. However, I strongly oppose this protest because I think it is not right to take away the place to play other sports. I think it would be better if a new pickleball court was built in Ala Moana Park.

I thought it might be a good idea to ask for help here, but I wanted to post this to let as many people as possible know about it.
If you are a tennis player or have played tennis at Ala Moana courts, I would appreciate it if you could support me from the link below. Thank you in advance.

（ Attention ） Offshore bank, long term investment with high interest rate

8% annual interest rate, no taxes to pay.
I've been getting solicited from many places recently to move all my savings to a bank in the U.S. ？
I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I'm sure I'll be able to get a good deal.

If you listen carefully,

only Japanese can open an account.
Residents of the U.S. cannot open an account.
It seems to be that.
Why can't US residents open an account even though the bank is in the US ？
I wonder.

Anyone who has been solicited or knows this information
would like to share information ？?

Parking is on site so no walking.
There was no line, and the ride was Swiss.
It takes 20 minutes from the stadium to Kapolei.
If you miss one car, it will come back 10 minutes later.

Mr. Mornomori

Thank you for the additional information😊
I went there today.
It was nice to see a different view from the top of the road that we usually drive on. However, if you ask me if I will ride again ？, I probably won't because I can get to where I want to go with pinpoint accuracy by car.
I can only wonder ？ if it will be possible to pay for the full-scale operation starting tomorrow, but I just hope that taxes will not go up any further due to this negative legacy.

I don't think Skyline is a negative legacy. It is your own opinion.

Right now, the Skyline is east of Aloha Stadium, but once it opens to Kakaako
the number of users will certainly increase.

In 2023, the Kalihi Transit Center will be open, and in 2031,
the Kakaako government district will be open.

The Bus also loses money every year, but is subsidized
by the US Department of Transportation. The subsidy has been paid to Skyline for the opening of the new service this July.

Currently we are looking at 3 ， 000 to 4 ， 000 passengers per day.
I think we will see an increase in usage when school starts next month.

How about Aloha Stadium ？
It is open early in the morning on Saturday and Sunday.
(It used to be held on Wednesdays as well, but
I've never been there on Wednesdays, so sorry I don't have accurate information. )

I went last Saturday morning after 6am.
One car stall fee $ 25.
(go with a friend and share the stall fee)

If you go with several cars with your friends, you can enter together and
one car can park in the stall area and the other in the guest parking.

You can also display items you don't want or plan to throw away.
Unit price is low, but you can sell it. w

I always go every 6 months to sell my discarded items and
earn some extra money ？ ！ 😊

Please come once ♪ 😊

I guess I've been lucky so far. It must have been a miracle that there were so many jobs in Hawaii if you could speak some English. Living abroad means that this kind of hardship is necessary and normal. I guess the question is how to live in this situation. I guess it is time to think about the next development rather than waiting forever for tourism to resume.
