At a glance

Kalawao County is a 82-person venue. The county population is 28% White (Census race-alone categories). 13% identify as Hispanic or Latino of any race. Those figures overlap rather than adding up; counted separately, non-Hispanic White residents are 19.4%, which is the basis the chart below uses. Median household income is $73,750, $26,639 below the HI state median of $100,389; 22.4% of residents 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher. 11.9% of residents 5 and older speak a language other than English at home, most commonly Spanish. At least 25% of residents here live in group quarters rather than households, barracks, dormitories, correctional facilities or nursing homes; the ACS survey and the 2020 census disagree on how many, and this is the lower of the two, so the figures above describe a population substantially larger than the one a summons reaches.
