Gender Ratio in Hawaii

I’ve always been fascinated with why Hawaii clubs have so many guys and so little girls. I often find myself surrounded my guys--why is that? At first, I thought that it was just my perception because I could never find hard data to support my theory.


Then, about a year ago, National Geographic published a chart showing where all the single males and females lived and it basically showed that west coast had more single males and the east coast had more single females. As I suspected, Hawaii fell into the west coast category.


Recently though, after months of searching, I found the 2000 U.S. Census data on Hawaii broken down by gender and age (here). Finally!

This is a chart that I made based upon the 2000 data.

That big ass peak over 21 year olds has a whopping 131 males to each female (9,647 males: 7,368 females). Ouch. You'd better elevate your game boys.

Here's two more charts of the actual numbers. (click on the charts to see them full size)




I suspect that the big peaks over 19 - 25 are related to the military.

Here's the raw data from the 2000 Census of Males and Females
