“We stuffed ourselves into one room,” Purdy said of his four-member family’s living arrangements.
Their share of the monthly rent was $2,300. When rent increased, the Purdys realized that they could no longer afford to live in Hawaii.
It’s increasingly common for Hawaii residents to be priced out of the Aloha State, where the median price for a single-family home topped $900,000 during the pandemic. On Oahu, the most populous island and where Honolulu is, the median price is more than $1 million.
According to 2021 population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau, the biggest growth of Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander populations was in Clark County, Nevada, which includes Las Vegas, and Sacramento County, California. The biggest decline of Native Hawaiian residents was in Honolulu.
Hawaii residents are spending on average 42.06% of their income on rent, which is the highest of any state, according to a Forbes Home analysis. California ranks second, but at a much smaller proportion of income going toward rent: 28.47%.
Estimates from the American Community Survey showed that in 2011, there were about 296,400 Native Hawaiians in Hawaii and about 221,600 on the continental U.S. Just a decade later, those numbers flipped. In 2021, there were about 309,800 Native Hawaiians in Hawaii and about 370,000 in other states.

We fought the haoles, and the haoles won.
Surf’s up!
All you Las Vegans be sure and treat them the same way as native Hawaiians treat us.
How is that?
This could only improve the place.
From tropical island paradise to desert inferno.
Like shit. They are very racist in Hawaii against all whites.
heads up
Rich Democrats may be worse than ethnic Hawaiians.
We recently stayed in an AirBNB on Kauai - very average, nothing special, three bedroom two and a half bathroom suburban home with a postage-stamp-sized back yard.
We looked it up on Red Fin and the home was valued at $2.5 million.
We’re from California, where ho-hum houses in marginal areas go for over $1 million - and the price of this home shocked even us.
Hawaiians could most anywhere and it would be more affordable.
That’s been going on for 50 years.
You don’t get out much do you
start dumping all the illegals in hawaii. A one way ticket. Keep them isolated away from us and give the leftists there a special “treat” of diversity that they push on everyone else.
Never saw that one
Definitely.
They’re not rich democrats in Vegas.
