Contact Proximity to obtain the Excel file containing the data display for all Hawaii counties as partly shown in the following graphic (specify 'Hawaii county to county migration spreadsheet' in message section). 
How Hawaii Has Changed Since 1900 -- County-by-County Change 1900-2000 [goto top] We all know that Hawaii has changed a lot over the years. The following table provides further insights into the change in total population by county from 1900 to 2000, based on each decennial census. Since 1900, the State of Hawaii has increased in population by 686 percent while the U.S. overall has increased by 269 percent. Honolulu County, Oahu, has increased by almost 1,400 percent! Contact Proximity to acquire the national scope data file containing these data.
Using Census Factfinder to View Hawaii High School Complex Areas [goto top] High school complex maps may be viewed using the Census Bureau Web-based Factfinder (http://factfinder.census.gov). The following summary shows examples of maps that can be viewed and step-by-step instructions for using Factfinder to view these and related maps. See how school locations may also be viewed in the maps. The following graphic shows the Kaimuki, Kalani, and Kaiser high school complex areas. With this level of zoom-in to the map view, it is easy to see the general geographic relationships between the school complex areas (red boundaries). 
View streets and more detailed features by using the zoom-in feature. Streets and high school complex boundaries may be viewed as shown in the following graphic. 
Getting the Maps, Step-by-Step. Here is a step-by-step summary describing how to get a map for high school complex areas of interest and see related geography.
Mapping/GIS Applications Using Census 2000 Webcourse [goto top] -- Features Hawaii Data and Geography The WebCourse "Mapping and GIS Applications Using Census 2000 Data" has now been updated so that no fixed schedule is required. Take this course from your office or at home with your computer. Session start on Monday. The self-paced sessions take place over an 8 week period making it easy to work on sessions in a manner that best suits your schedule. See http://proximityone.com/vc2.htm for additional information. These sessions make extensive use of Hawaii data and geography. While there is an emphasis on using Census 2000 Summary File 3 demographics, other non-Census subject matter are also covered. Hawaii Census Tract Data on Income and Population Below Poverty Level [go to top] Census 2000 demographic data on income and population below poverty level are now available for Hawaii by census tract as a part of a national scope set of files developed by Proximity. While these data may be accessed from the Census Bureau Summary File 3, the data are organized in these files for easy access to statewide census tract geography and in a form that can be easily integrated with other data on your PC. In addition, a shapefile for Hawaii by census tract is also downloadable which has been augmented to include these same demographic data items. See http://proximityone.com/tracts.htm to download the files and obtain more information. Hawaii Census 2000 Summary File 4 [go to top] Hawaii Census 2000 Summary File 4 data are now available. Use these data to perform similar analyses to those described below using Summary File 3. Comparative advantages/disadvantages of using Summary File 4 (SF4) as compared to Summary File 3 (SF3) are:
Census 2000 Summary File 3 ZIP code and census tract files have been developed by Proximity for the U.S. This section reviews the scope and access to these data for the State of Hawaii. Content, use, and benefits of these files/data are summarized below. The Hawaii files are available on a no-fee basis for downloading for use in non-income producing and non-funded research applications. Other users may purchase the files (inquire here). The Proximity Census Data Integrator (CDI) software was used with the Hawaii Summary File 3 files to develop these files. Two filesets have been prepared -- one for the state by census tract and one for the state by ZIP code (ZCTA). Each fileset contains four dBase files corresponding to four demographic profile tables. Why use these data?. These files contain data for individual census tracts and ZIP code areas across the state. Data for census tracts are used for funding and qualification criteria by many governmental programs. These files provide a way to examine characteristics of individual census tracts but more importantly in the context of all other census tracts. Since the most common small area data from non-census sources is data summarized by ZIP code, ZIP code demographics are useful in many applications. • Compare neighborhood characteristics using a composite set of key indicators. • Assess 'state of education' -- educational attainment on a small area basis. • Determine propensity to vote a certain way on a certain issue. • Analyze attributes of the housing market. • Assess size of medically underserved population. • Examine patterns of labor force/employment infrastructure. • Assess the need/demand for wide-ranging products and services. • Analyze number of children in school for health related programs. Enhancing Value. These data may be used to analyze poverty incidence by census tract or ZIP code. As the data are in a data file, non-census data may be added to the data records. Subject Matter. Subject matter items included are summarized in the these demographic profile table descriptions: • DP1 -- General Demographics (complete count data from SF1) • DP2 -- Social Characteristics • DP3 -- Economic Characteristics • DP4 -- Housing Characteristics These subject matter items are the same as used to produce the Waimanalo CDP and Hawaii demographic profiles (different geography and in Excel format). The subject matter items are also described in the demographic profile technical documentation. The technical documentation provides a further description of each of the subject matter items using the same variable/item name as used in the dBase files. Special Notes About DP1. The DP1, General Demographics, data file has also been included in the zip files. These data are derived from Summary File 1. The geographic fields in the data record are a little differently structured than for the DP2, DP3, and DP4 files. Also note that this version of DP1 has a larger number and differently named fields than conveyed by the technical documentation. The additional fields are the number of persons by single year of age, ages less than 1 year through 19 years, by gender. Refer to the DP1 items description for the item description and associated variable names used in the file. Geography. Data records correspond to individual census tracts (286) in the statewide census tract fileset and 5-digit ZCTAs (92) in the statewide ZCTA fileset. Each data record in the DP2 - DP4 files carries the same set of geographic identifier codes. These 83 fields are the same geographic fields as contained in the corresponding Summary File 3 geographic data segment. Documentation for the geographic code (and related) fields is located in the Summary File 3 technical documentation. The geographic identifier codes differ slightly in the DP1 files. Access/Downloading. Use the following links to download a zip file containing the filesets. Expand the zip file and open the files with any display/analytical software that can process dBase files to meet your application needs. • Hawaii by Census Tract DP1, DP2, DP3, DP4 files in one zip file • Hawaii by 5-digit ZIP Code/ZCTA DP1, DP2, DP3, DP4 files in one zip file go to top Hawaii Home Land Socioeconomic Profiles [go to top] The Hawaii Home Land Socioeconomic Profiles have been developed as an Excel spreadsheet to facilitate comparative analysis. The spreadsheet may be downloaded here: http://proximityone.com/homeland.xls. The content and format of these profiles is the same as generated by the Proximity Profile software and database for Hawaii places and counties. The table presented below lists areas designated as Hawaii Home Land areas with Census 2000 population. Only Home Land areas with population greater than zero are included in the spreadsheet. Hawaiian home lands (HHLs) are areas held in trust for native Hawaiians by the state of Hawaii, pursuant to the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act of 1920, as amended. For Census 2000, the Census Bureau obtained the names and boundaries of HHLs from state officials. HHLs are a new geographic entity for Census 2000. Each HHL area is assigned a national four-digit census code ranging from 5000 through 5499 based on the alphabetical sequence of each HHL name (used in the table presented below). Maps One way to view maps of HHLs is through the use of the Census Factfinder. This resources enables display of comparative geography with HHLs. Start at http://factfinder.census.gov/servlet/ReferenceMapFramesetServlet?_lang=en. Upon display, choose Change Selections>Geography from the top menu bar. In the "third bullet" item choose "Off-Reservation Trust Land Only/Hawaiian Home Land". Select an HHL and map it. Next, select Options>Boundaries in the top menu bar and check the checkboxes for HHL then click Update. The map redraws showing HHLs and you can navigate around the state.
