The Hawaii State Data Center works on a regular basis with the Office of Planning GIS Program on census apping projects to benefit the community, including online maps for Hawaii. A new interactive online map page is now available at http://hawaii.gov/dbedt/gis/census_online_maps.htm. These interactive online maps connect to profiles containing 2010 Census data as well as the 5-year American Community Survey data.
