Hawaii

Hawaii’s median sale price: $977,625
Hawaii’s median sale price to household income: 9.8

This expensive state is the only one outside of North America, the only island state, and the only state in the tropics. Hawaii is also one of a few US states to have once been an independent nation.

Out of the 50 American states, Hawaii is the 8th smallest in size and the 11th least populated, but the 13th most DENSELY populated, with 1.4 million inhabitants. Two-thirds of Hawaii’s population lives on O’ahu, home to the state’s capital and largest city, Honolulu.

Historically monopolized by a plantation economy, this state remains a significant agricultural exporter because of its fertile soil and uniquely tropical weather.

Its economy has gradually diversified since the mid-20th century, though, with tourism and military defense becoming the two largest sectors.

The state is well known for attracting many tourists, surfers, and scientists from around the globe with its diverse natural scenery, oceanic surroundings, active volcanoes, and clear skies on the “Big Island.”

    “But its population of more than 20 million people in 2020 makes it the 4th most populous metropolis in the US. Two-thirds of the state’s population resides in the New York metropolitan area. This city is also the premier gateway for immigration into the US.”
    Many believe NYC is NYS. With 2/3 of the population of the state in that small area, consider how nice the rest of the state is with its beauty, natural resources, fresh air etc. Why anyone would prefer an urban jungle is beyond me. I do live in NYS but not in NYC.

    When was the Washington Monument moved across the country? How is Montana the most densely populated state? Why do I bother reading such stupid lists?
