Is the demographics available to support a public elementary school there, or would an assisted living center be more well used [] ?
Age of population, HPP and Hawaii, from 2010census:
.................................................HPP State of Hawaii
Persons under 5 years, percent, 2010 7.6% 6.4%
Persons under 18 years, percent, 2010 27.4% 22.3%
Persons 65 years and over, percent, 2010 10.5% 14.3%
Age of population, County of Hawaii
Persons under 5 years, percent, 2010 6.4%
Persons under 18 years, percent, 2010 22.8%
Persons 65 years and over, percent, 2010 14.5%
So, HPP has a higher percentage of children and a lower percentage of elders than the county and the state as a whole. Looks like a school is needed.
