The latest installment in the UHERO Dashboard Project is “packed with information” on the cost of travel to Hawaii from the U.S. mainland.

This dashboard — called Flying to Hawaii: Comparing the Cost and Frequency Across States — was designed and developed by UHERO’s data team using d3.js technology.

Click on that link above and it will take you to an interactive map where visitors can hover over states or bars with their mouse or track pad to see the data change.

For example, in the first three months of 1993 it cost on average $279 to fly roundtrip from California. Ah, remember the days!

As of 2014, however, that figure for the same time period was $501. Grrr.

One thing that has not changed, according to the dashboard: The highest number of tickets then and now are for California.

The visitor industry is one of Hawaii’s largest, UHERO explains in a press release, and more than 60 percent of all visitors to the state come from the U.S. mainland.

The data for the latest dashboard comes from the Airline Origin and Destination Survey, which is administered by the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics.

The goal of the UHERO Dashboard Project is to “produce a collection of indicators and visualizations that not only summarize the status of Hawaii’s economy, but update the community on the features of the economy that are relevant to them.”
