One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their homes - 8.09% of the workforce.

Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

One of the nice things about Holualoa is that is it nautical, meaning that parts of the town are somewhat historic and on the ocean, or touch tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and tidal rivers.
