PREFACE
The 1995 County of Hawaii Data Book is a compilation of demographic and other statistical information about the County of Hawaii.
Organized similarly to the State of Hawaii Data Book, the County of Hawaii Data Book concentrates local data in a single, convenient reference.
Although compilation of the data was done by the Department of Research and Development, many other agencies contributed to this effort. We wish to acknowledge the assistance of the other County departments, as well as the State and Federal agencies, who assisted in the development of this project.
We welcome your comments and suggestions for improving the next edition of this data book.

GUIDE TO TABULAR PRESENTATION
The tables in this report generally follow the principles of tabular presentation used by the U.S. Bureau of the Census in its annual publication, Statistical Abstract of the United States, and described in Bureau of the Census Manual of Tabular Presentation, published by the Bureau in 1950. These principles have been accepted by the Department of Business and Economic Development for use in its publications and recommended to all other State agencies for official use.
Headnotes immediately below table titles provide information important for correct interpretation or evaluation of the table as a whole or for a major segment of it.
Unit indicators ("In thousands," "In millions of dollars," etc.) are usually given as the first element of the headnote. In tables where several units are used, the unit indicators are generally given in the stub or in the column headings.
Footnotes below the bottom rule of tables give information relating to specific items or figures within the table.
Parallel vertical rules are used to the right of a total column to indicate that the components which follow add to the total; in the case of derived figures, that the underlying data are additive to their total.
The following symbols, used in the tables throughout this book, are explained in condensed form in footnotes to the tables where they appear:
-
Represents zero or rounds to less than half the unit of measurement shown.
D Figure withheld to avoid
disclosure of information
pertaining to a
specific organization or individual.
NA Data not enumerated, tabulated, or
otherwise available separately.
many tables, details will not add to the totals shown because of rounding.
Geographic coverage should be understood as Countywide, unless otherwise indicated in the table title, headnote, boxhead, or stub. All annual statistics should be understood as referring to calendar years unless otherwise indicated.
