Residents of Hawai‘i face the highest housing costs in the nation. High housing costs lower the standard of living for residents and hinder the State’s ability to attract workers. Some households are forced to live in crowded conditions, some leave the state to find housing elsewhere, and some are forced to survive without housing at all. To inform discussions on the way forward for housing in Hawai‘i, UHERO is releasing the first edition of an annual report on the state of housing. The report provides detailed housing data for the state, counties, and 63 local zip codes.
