HAS THE U.S. TAKEOVER OF HAWAI`I BEEN A SUCCESS?
Honolulu Civil Beat - January 21, 2015
Hawaii holds the ignominious distinction of having the most homeless per capita for four years in a row, according to interactive maps created by Movoto, a real estate brokerage firm based in San Mateo, Calif.
In 2014, there were 487 homeless people per 100,000 Hawaii residents — 219 were unsheltered and 269 sheltered.
Hawaii’s homeless numbers have been the worst in the country since 2011 — in 2010, the state ranked third.

Hawaii has the fourth-highest number of millionaires per-capita in the US according to a new study.
The just-released Phoenix Global Wealth Monitor shows that stable economic growth helped Hawai`i maintain its ranking, according to lead researcher David Thompson.
The report's data shows 32,829 Hawaii households with $1 million or more in investable assets, for a ratio of 6.93 millionaires to the total household count.
