About the Region

Hawaii

Hawaii includes several islands with different settlement patterns and landscapes. Honolulu on Oahu is one urban setting within a state that also includes smaller communities and rural areas on other islands.

Windward versus leeward location and elevation can make a substantial difference to rainfall and temperatures within the same island. Housing, transport, and access to services depend on the particular community. Compare local conditions rather than assuming all Hawaiian locations share the same experience.
