How much do you pay for rent in Hilo?
Hello, Just moved here 1 months ago and Crime rate is something to consider -Hilo sits at 1,821.2 per 100K. The median home value here is around $455,100, which is pretty steep. Rent is about $1,347/month for a decent place. With a population of 48,223, Hilo is a smaller city. Median household income is $78,713, which feels about average for the area. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The city has invested a lot in new development. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.
Pros:
- Low crime in most areas
- Diverse community
- Good healthcare facilities
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Not very walkable
- Boring for young people
- Homelessness issues downtown
