Gender Ratio In Hawaii Sucks: Blame the White Dudes

There are too many white guys in Hawaii.

I always wondered “where are all the white girls?” Clubs always have tons of white guys, but no white girls. Why? Because there aren’t many.

Put simply, if you think there are too many guys in the club, blame the white guys.

In the 15 - 40 year old range, there are 119 white guys for every 100 white girls. Seriously, 119, that’s crazy. And get this: for 20 year olds, there are 162 white guys for every 100 white girls. 162!!!! That’s just astounding. If you’re a white guy between the ages of 19 and 23, good luck finding a white girl because that ratio is 148!! Three white dudes, meet two white girls, go have fun.

The data has “white” as “white or partially white” and Asian as “Asian or partially Asian”

Meanwhile, Asians are more or less even.

Take out the excess in white guys (i.e. make the white people ratio 100 males : 100 females) and the total ratio of men to women in Hawaii falls below 100: this is demonstrated by the turquoise line.

Although the Black ratio is as crazy as 200:100 at some ages, it doesn't make much difference because there are so few Blacks in Hawaii.

Here's the data without Black, Native American, and Pacific Islander (which includes Hawaiians).


Now that I look at this data more, I realize the high amount 18 -25 year old white men, and men in Hawaii in general, is probably related to the military.

I also don't know how many half Asian-half white people (hapa) are counted here, but I would guess that the Hawaii born hapa kids balance each other out. It doesn't make sense to say that all the guys are hapa, but the girls aren't.

I really believe that a whole ton of white dudes just decided to move to Hawaii, but white girls don't. Again, this is probably related to the military.

Here’s the key to the above chart:
(This was from 2006 census data estimates.)

*“White” means “White Alone or in Combination”
*“Asian” means “Asian Alone or in Combination”
*“If Even White” means if there were an even number of White males and White females, this is what the gender ratio would look like for all races. In other words, kick out the excess white guys and this is what Hawaii would look like.
*“All Races” all races in the census include White, Asian, Black, Native American, and Pacific Islander (which includes Hawaiians)
