About Kailua
Kailua-Kona is an unincorporated community and, under the name Kailua, a census-designated place (CDP) in Hawaii County, Hawaii, United States. It is most commonly referred to simply as Kona (a name it shares with the district to which it belongs), but also as Kona Town, and occasionally as Kailua (a name it shares with a community on the windward side of Oʻahu), thus its less frequent use. Kailua-Kona is the second-largest settlement on the island of Hawaii (after Hilo) and the largest on the island's west side, where it is the center of commerce and the tourist industry. Kailua-Kona is served by Kona International Airport, just to the north in the adjacent CDP of Kaiminani. The population was 19,713 at the 2020 census, up from 11,975 at the 2010 census.
Kailua-Kona was the closest major settlement to the epicenter of the 2006 Kiholo Bay earthquake.
The U.S. Census Bureau significantly altered Kailua CDP's boundaries for the 2020 census. The eastern portion of Kailua CDP became part of the neighboring Holualoa CDP, while the western portion of Holualoa became part of Kailua CDP.
