Demographics
A. INTRODUCTION
Profile of Hawaii 1/
The State of Hawaii consists of
eight major southerly islands in a
chain of islands and 124 minor islands
with a total area of 6,450 square
miles. Of this total, 6,425 miles are
land and 25 are inland waters.
The eight major islands total
4,126,000 acres of land area, of which
98 percent form the six major islands
of Hawaii, Maui, Oahu, Kauai, Molokai,
and Lanai (in order of largest land
mass). The seventh island, Niihau, is
privately owned and the eighth,
Kahoolawe, is a military bomBing range
and uninhabitable.
There are three levels of
government in Hawaii—Federal, State,
and County. There are only four
counties. The seat of the State
Government is in the State Capitol at
Honolulu on the island of Oahu, which
houses the State Legislature and the
Governor's offices.
The major industries in Hawaii have
shifted from those that are primarily
agricultural to service industries.
In order of importance, the major
industries today in Hawaii are:
• Tourism
• Construction
• Sugar
• Pineapple
• Defense
• Diversified Agriculture
Data Sources and Reliability 2/
The sources used in the descriptions
that follow in this chapter are
diverse, with varying degrees of
reliability. Essentially two types of
sources were used to compile the data
in this chapter: scholarly
demographic studies (for example,
Adams, Lind, and Taeuber), and
official government censuses and
statistics (Schmitt for earlier
figures, U.S. Bureau of the Census
data, and State of Hawaii
statistics).
As always in the use of statistics,
there are inherent dangers of
misclassification and misinterpretation.
Earlier data are less
reliable than later data. Some data
collected by the Federal Government
directly after statehood xn 1959 are
unusable because mainland race classifications
are meaningless in Hawaii.
Some data are not collected by ethnic
groups by either the State or Federal
Governments. It is hoped, however,
that the wide variety of data used
here will obviate some of these
problems. Even where precise information
is not available for lack of
data, the reader may at least be able
to discern trends in each of the areas
discussed.
The most complete statistical
compilation, from the earliest
available figures to postcensal
estimates made by the State in 1965,
is contained in a book written by•
Robert C. Schmitt, Hawaii State
Statistician. 3^/ Schmitt reviews the
various sources of demographic data
for accuracy and reliability. A brief
summary of his review will give a
general idea of much of the data used
here.
There are numerous problems with
the earliest available data. Captain
Cook's estimates and those of others
