Demographics 2004 Hawaii & Alaska, etc

[urbanguy]

Here's the latest racial demographics for Hawaii, Alaska, Honolulu, Anchorage, and some Hawaii counties according to the US Census 2004 release. I believe that there is more than likely an undercount or miscalculation in a few area's ie:

I doubt that the Pacific Islander population is going down in Hawaii because of the large number or people migrating their from Micronesia every year (Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Palau) and other parts of Polynesia like (Samoa & Tonga) People migrating from the three main source countries of Micronesia number about 1,000-1,500 a year but they are harder to track because they dont need visas to live and work in the U.S.A. and the migration from Samoa & Tonga has not slowed down at all. Also, i believe that the Hispanic population on Maui is probably larger and growing faster than the Big Island of Hawaii.
