According to stats Hawaii has had a rate of growth over the last decade of 3.86% (http://worldpopulationreview.com/states/). Puna has been a large part of that.
Hawaii's 10,931 square miles has a lot of mountains and it's population is clustered giving us a ratio of 221 per square mile. Connecticut is only 4,841 square miles with a ratio of 771 people per square mile.
I still think we are relatively fortunate.
One truism I read recently was that 'the future will not be like the past'. Hard to argue with that.
I came here about 30 years ago and appreciated Puna and Kau as, what I saw as, the last broad grasp of old laid back Hawaii. Not true for Puna anymore but Kau still fits that bill in my eyes.
So if you want th eold sleepy village or rural life it is still available and not that far from here.
Best wishes.

Assume the best and ask questions.
