Air Quality: Ka'u District receives more vog than any other area on the island. The area is affected with the greatest number of days and highest concentration of vog emissions from the volcano. If air quality is a concern, it's a consideration.
Ag theft: Farmers in the area have a problem with ag theft. The orange farm had to close down years ago, and coffee farms have experienced loss to thieves as well. If you're raising cattle it may not be a problem.
Shopping: Choices are limited, and you may need to drive a distance for almost everything. The main grocery store in Na'alehu closed recently.
Schools: I'm guessing they are not the best on the island, but perhaps a teacher could weigh in
Medical: Extremely limited medical facilities
Police: A small step up from nothing
No fathers or mothers think their own children ugly; and this self-deceit is yet stronger with respect to the offspring of the mind. -Miguel de Cervantes, novelist (1547-1616)
