Population of Hawaii

Analysis# Hawaii Population Analysis Hawaii's population of 1.44 million represents modest growth of 6.22% over the past decade, ranking it 40th nationally—a position reflecting its geographic isolation and limited land availability. The state's growth trajectory has flattened considerably since its peak in the 1930s, when rapid development drove the decade's expansion, contrasting sharply with the current rate. Over 124 years of data (1900–2024), Hawaii has transitioned from a frontier territory to a stable mid-sized state, with recent growth rates suggesting demographic maturation rather than the expansionist periods that characterized much of the 20th century.
