2016 AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY 5-YEAR DATA

News Release from Hawaii State Data Center, Dec 7, 2017

December 7, 2017. The U.S. Census Bureau released its 2012-2016 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates on December 7, 2017. During the 2012-2016 period, the Census Bureau surveyed a total of 48,457 households, an average of 9,691 households per year. Over 9% of Hawaii’s population were surveyed between this 2012 to 2016 period.

The 2012-2016 ACS dataset includes new and modified tables on language spoken at home and household language for limited English speakers. Over 45 different social, demographic, economic, and housing topics are summarized in the ACS, and average figures for the 5-year time period of 2012-2016 may be obtained for the state level and down to smaller areas such as the census tract level.

Hawaii data is available on our DBEDT website at: ACS-2016

Selected small area rankings

The following analyses were based upon the ranking of the 316 census tracts in Hawaii which had a population. The numbers presented below are averages over the 2012-2016 time period. Tables included in these highlights display only the 20 top ranking census tracts. For the complete list and for the margin of errors, see the accompanying Excel data file.

  • Median household income. Two areas had a median household income over $150,000. They were Waiawa and Waialae Iki. Five areas had a median household income between $126,000 and $149,000. All twenty of the top areas were in Honolulu County. On the island of Maui, the highest median household income was $92,500 in Waihee-Waikapu. On Kauai, the highest median household income was $81,241 in Eleele-Kalaheo. On the island of Hawaii, the highest median household income was $74,138 in Kawaihae-Waikoloa. (Table 2)
