Hawaii’s 5 counties, by the numbers

Every county’s population, median household income, unemployment, density, and land area — sortable by any column, so you can find yours or rank by what matters to you. A few patterns run through the data:

  • Concentrated. Half of Hawaii’s 1,435,138 residents live in just 1 of 5 counties. Census PEP 2023
  • Mostly small. Half of Hawaii’s counties have fewer than 164,183 residents, and half report a median household income below $86,924. Census PEP 2023 · SAIPE 2023
  • Lopsided density. Only 1 of 5 counties is denser than Hawaii’s statewide average of 223 people per square mile — the rest are more rural. Census PEP 2023 · TIGER
