STATE OF HAWAII <br /> According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there were 519,508" housing units in Hawaii in July <br /> 2010. The total number of occupied housing units was 455,338. The total number of housing <br /> units available to the residential housing market, or "available units' would necessarily lie <br /> between those two numbers. Not all housing units are available to the market, and not all <br /> available units are occupied at any given times. The 2011 HHPS housing inventory shows an <br /> estimated 500,508 units were available in 2010. <br /> TABLE 2.
