Waikoloa Subcommittee's Second Access Road Report <br />3. Growth in Waikoloa Village (Population, Housing, Commercial) <br />There has been steady growth in population, housing, and commerce in Waikoloa, as anticipated <br />in the SKCDP Pages 89. [Appendix CDP 2.] <br />Population Growth in Waikoloa & South Kohala <br />The 2020 US Census is less than one year away, so accurate data on Waikoloa Village's <br />population is not available; however, prior Census data shows that the Village's population grew <br />substantially over the past twenty years, and that the trend continues. July 2017 US Census <br />estimates indicate an 8% increase in Hawaii County's population to 200,381, up from 185,079 in <br />the official 2010 Census. Conservative estimates are that the Village has grown into a town of <br />over 7,000 people. <br />Year <br />Big Island <br />Population <br />Waikoloa <br />Population <br />% of <br />Waikoloa Growth <br />actual or estimated <br />1990 <br />Maui Co. <br />2,248 <br />N/A <br />2000 <br />148,677 <br />4,806 <br />113% <br />2010 <br />185,079 <br />6,362 <br />32% <br />2020 estimated <br />1 200,381 <br />7,000+ <br />8%-10% or more <br />Source: July 2017 US Census estimates <br />Information from the State Data Book (updated November 2018, Appendix D-1) provides data <br />on the Resident Population growth by State and Counties (Appendix D-2, Populations by State <br />& Counties, raw numbers) shows that the Big Island's increases are consistently higher vs. the <br />State as a whole and any other county. <br />ANNUAL GROWTH RATE by STATE & COUNTIES <br />Date <br />STATE total <br />City/Co.
