A former sugar plantation town, Pahala is the district hub for education and health services, including a pharmacy, hospital, clinic, preschool and public school as well as a library.

Plantation houses, from small cottages to large homes and the former plantation manager's manor, have been restored around the village, serving local families and visitors to Hawai{{okina}}i Volcanoes National Park and Punalu{{okina}}u Black Sand Beach. The village has a post office, swimming pool, two food stores, fire station and gas station. Fisherman sell their catch and farmers sell their produce on the roadside in the village. There is a Catholic, an Assembly of God, and a Baptist church, as well as a Buddhist Hoangwanji and a Tibetan Buddhist temple up the mountain in Wood Valley.

The Ka{{okina}}ū District's regional newspaper – the ''Ka{{okina}}ū Calendar'' – with offices in Pahala, is online daily and printed monthly.

Pahala hosts the annual Ka{{okina}}ū Coffee Festival and Ka{{okina}}ū Coffee Trail Run, Science Camps of America for teenagers each summer, and many family reunions and weddings, as well as NGO, company, music and dance retreats.
