DBEDT RELEASES 2023 STATE OF HAWAI‘I DATA BOOK

HONOLULU – The Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT) today released the 2023 edition of the State of Hawai‘i Data Book. The Data Book is the 56th edition of its series.

The Hawai‘i State Data Book is the most comprehensive statistical book about Hawai‘i in a single compilation. Classified into 24 sections with 845 data tables, it covers a broad range of information in areas such as population, education, environment, economics, energy, real estate, construction, business enterprises, government, tourism and transportation.

The book is in electronic form and is available on the DBEDT website at: dbedt.hawaii.gov/economic/databook. The data tables can be downloaded in whole or in part as either PDF or Excel files.

“The Data Book has been around over half of a century and has been one of the most popular products DBEDT offers to the public. The book is an essential tool for people to know Hawai‘i’s history, current situation and future development,” said DBEDT Director James Kunane Tokioka. “Our researchers also produced two products based on the data book. One of them is the County Social, Business and Economic Trends and the other is the Data Book Time Series; both can be found on our website.”

This is always a handy reference, and browsing usually delivers some interesting nuggets of data.
