Honolulu Getting Younger While Much of the Rest of Country Ages

By /

Honolulu is one of those rare places where the population seems to be getting younger.

Want to find out why? Check out this bit from Governing Magazine.

Here’s an excerpt:

Honolulu County also isn’t aging to the same degree as the rest of the country, but for reasons different than D.C. and others on this list. 

Honolulu’s median age dropped 0.6 years between 2010 and 2012, the largest decrease among the most populous U.S. counties. 

Eugene Tian, chief economist for the Hawaii Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism, attributes the decline to international migration.
