population, and 19.3% of the population was 65 years and older. Of the population 25 <br />years and older, 29.5% had a Bachelor's degree or higher.

It has <br />approximately 619.96 square miles of land area and is home to 5% of the State's <br />population. Between 2014-2018, about 89% of households had a computer and <br />around 81 % of households had a broadband Internet subscription. <br />The island of Kauai consists of large mountain ranges in the central part of the island <br />that radiate out to the shoreline areas. Most of the population is distributed along the <br />coast and in towns that were formerly the center of sugar plantations, surrounded by <br />fertile land. Because of the mountainous terrain, most of the broadband infrastructure <br />is concentrated along the coastal and interior highways, which is where most of the <br />population is distributed. However, this mountainous terrain makes it difficult to build <br />out broadband infrastructure to reach several rural areas. <br />During the period between 2005-2009 and 2014-2018, Kauai County's population <br />increased around 11 %, with Lihue experiencing the largest population gain and <br />Hanalei experiencing the largest population loss. <br />Resident Population and Population Change <br />for 2005-2009 and 2014-2018, Kauai County <br />, <br />District 2005-2009 bbpula ion M0a <br />442 1, <br />popu <br />State total <br />-------------- ------ --------------------- -- -------------- Kauai County <br />--- - - ------- --- --- --------------- ----------------- <br />Hanalei <br />-------------- ----------------------------------------------------- <br />Kawaihau <br />-_ ---------------------------- <br />Lihue <br />------------------- ----------- ------------------- ----------------- <br />Koloa <br />------ ------- -- - -------------- <br />Waimea <br />1,280,241 <br />1,422,029 <br />11.1 <br />63,033 <br />1 <br />71,377 <br />---------- ----- -------------- <br />13.2 <br />------------------ -- -- <br />-- --------------- --------------- <br />6,684 �� <br />---------- - --------------------- <br />- ----- - <br />6,232 �� <br />- - -- <br />-6.8 <br />--------____,__ <br />19,890 <br />21,480 <br />8.0 <br />-------------- <br />14,551 <br />---------- -- ------ -- _ <br />-------- -------------------- <br />18,272 <br />--- -- ---- -------------------------- <br />- - ------- <br />25.6 <br />13,702 <br />15,820 <br />- <br />15.5 <br />----------------------- ----------------- <br />8,206 <br />----------___ --------------------- - ----------------- <br />9,573 <br />- - ------------------------- <br />16.7 <br />sm <br />
