Section 6 <br />LAND USE AND OWNERSHIP <br /> General statistics on the use, ownership, and tenure of land appear in this section. <br />Information on specific use or ownership categories is given elsewhere: parks in Section 7, <br />military land in Section 10, agriculture in Section 19, forests in Section 20, sugar cane land <br />in Section 22, and foreign ownership on Section 24. <br /> Considerable caution is necessary in comparing statistics from different sources on land <br />use, ownership, or tenure. Variations in definitions and survey dates seriously affect <br />comparability in many instances, even where terminology is relatively unambiguous and <br />misinterpretation seems unlikely. <br /> Tabulations by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, U.S. General Services <br />Administration, Hawaii State Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, Hawaii State <br />Department of Land and Natural Resources, Hawaii State Department of Business, <br />Economic Development & Tourism and its Land Use Commission, City and County of <br />Honolulu Budget and Fiscal Services Department, and City and County of Honolulu <br />Planning Research Branch provided the data for this section. Historical Statistics of <br />Hawaii, Section 12, contains limited information for earlier years. National data on land use <br />are available in Sections 6, 17, and 26 of the Statistical Abstract of the United States: 2012. <br /> The State of Hawaii Data Book 2017 <br />http://dbedt.hawaii.gov/ <br /> <br />
