Maui County, not Kahului
Maui County context, not Kahului figures
These are Maui County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Kahului measurements.
- Establishments in Maui County5,000
- Employment at those establishments, Maui County62,683
- Covered employment, Maui County73,656
- Average annual pay, Maui County$61,830
- Average weekly wage, Maui County$1,189
- Housing units permitted, Maui County1,118
- Of those, single family, Maui County623
- Average income of an arriving household, Maui County$172,969
Every figure in this section is published for Maui County as a whole and is not a measurement of Kahului. It is here because a county backdrop is what a credit committee reads a place against, and it is labelled so that it can never be quoted as the place's own.

Coverage
What this page does not hold.
Every item below could be filled with a plausible figure. None of them is. On a page a lender may read, a number that cannot be traced is worse than an absence, so the absences are named.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- Parcel level detail, zoning and flood zone at an address are resolved in the platform, not on this page.
SBA figures count approvals to borrowers whose address is in the place. They are not approvals for projects inside the place boundary: the tape records a borrower city and a project county, and those can differ.

21 7(a) approvals totalling $8.5 m, across 10 lenders, median approval $69,900, plus 23 504 approvals worth $15.0 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Kahului, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Kahului borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Kahului. only 7 resolved loans, too few to publish a rate, and a percentage over that few outcomes would move several points on a single loan. The counts are shown instead.
Are the county figures on this page Kahului figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Maui County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Kahului.
Is zoning published for Kahului?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
