Hawaii covers an area of 10,931 square miles, with a length of 1,522 miles. This implies a population density of 218.6 people per square mile, which makes Hawaii the 13th-most densely populated state in the United States.

The history of Hawaii’s economy can be traced through a succession of dominant industries: the sandalwood, whaling, sugarcane, pineapple, military, tourism, and education industries. Since statehood in 1959, tourism has been the largest industry in Hawaii, contributing 24.3% of the gross state product (GSP) in 1997, despite efforts to diversify. Hawaii’s gross output for 2003 was $47 billion; per capita income was $30,441. Hawaiian exports include food and clothing. These industries play a small role in the Hawaiian economy due to the shipping distance to viable markets such as the West Coast of the continental U.S. The state’s food exports include coffee, macadamia nuts, pineapples, livestock, sugarcane, and honey.
