Hawaii’s growth compared to other states
The trends presented in this report are derived from borrower migration data. The map above illustrates the net growth or decline each U.S. state has experienced due to borrower migration since 2021. The figures are calculated by subtracting the total number of outbound borrowers (those moving out of the state) from the total number of inbound borrowers (those moving into the state), then dividing by each state’s 2023 U.S. Census population. These trends indicate which states are attracting more borrowers than they’re losing, highlighting growth potential and opportunities for lenders to expand their footprints in these regions.
With over 2,000 borrowers moving into Hawaii from another state and around 500 borrowers moving out of Hawaii to another state since 2021, Hawaii exhibits the second-highest growth percentage of any state, according to Maxwell Business Intelligence data.
This growth percentage considers population size so large states like California, Texas, and New York don’t skew the data. Hawaii’s positive migration growth highlights its increasing appeal and presents a growing opportunity for the region’s banks, credit unions, and mortgage lenders to expand their customer base. As mortgage lenders seek to connect with buyers relocating to Hawaii, it’s crucial to understand their states of origin.
