Maukabound,
Years ago, I had exactly the same question as you but in reverse. Where is one of the most diverse areas on the Big island?
Having spent time in the OC, which was very white and also city on the other coast that was very white, I wanted a very diverse ethnic and cultural mix! And ta-da I found the Hilo side!

OK. Just checked the map at the link above. To keep to your preferences, you are going to need to avoid Hilo altogether. I recommend you land in Kona and then charter a small airplane with pontoons, landing near Waa Waa. The surf should bring you in from there.
Aloha au i Hawai`i,

Kidding and sarcasm aside, consider Leilani. Yes, it has issues which are discussed on this site, but it is a very attractive and well managed subdivision with strict cc&r's. Leilaniites are friendly and you'd probably feel comfortable with the ethnic demographics. So, I'm casting my vote for Leilani Estates. Besides, chicks dig it! Check it out and good luck.

Leilani has issues?! Gosh, I have been going there for 15 years and I never had issues there.

Sigh!
Don't we ever learn!
Growing up in a city separated by ETHNIC (or race sex, gender, age- you chose your view) neighborhoods (subdivisions) - I learned:
That in 6th grade none of my classmates would (or could) come to my house to play (hang out) because of the predominate COLOR of the neighborhood.
That in high school - with more mobility and freedom - I had to watch the AREA (ethnic) I was in - Italian, Irish, Porto Rican (which was any spanish nationality at the time - "West Side Story"), Black.
That I had to be careful how I dressed or combed my hair (slicked back or natural ("Grease").
That war is a powerful equalizer - you don't care who is covering your back - just that SOMEONE is ("Forrest Gump").
That in a "third world country" even if bombs aren't falling - the dollars changes everything; morals, culture and families (the reason Thailand is a "SEX" destination)!
In the end I grew up in FEAR of everyone and close to no-one (or very few)!
I learned from "Michael Jackson - Man in the Mirror"
"I'm Starting With The Man In The Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change His Ways
And No Message Could Have Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World A Better Place
Take A Look At Yourself And Then Make A Change"
It may shock some but I came here for ALOHA - the essence of accepting everyone FIRST and foremost as a PERSON (human being) - letting their humanity define them.
SIGH!
Will we EVER learn!

John, Yes, me too. I love Leilani. I was alluding to insurance, lava zone type stuffs. Sure wish those could be effectively addressed. Other than that, Leilani is da kine.

Sorry Lee, I didn't think of that. Yes, because of the lava zone, insurance is twice as much as in HPP, but it's worth the price to live in the nicest subdivision of Puna!

Wow. Ok then. Looks like we have a live one here. I see the posters point, but question the delivery of the message. Here in Hawaii it is not about ethnic demographics. Wao nahele kane is on it.....just Google demographics in Hawaii. Better yet, just talk to the Hawaii Island Police department and the neighborhood policing officers. Get those subdivision stats down and you will have a better result and understanding than the analysis of specific ethnic groups influence on the overall demographics.
Just a side note to correct a previous post. A real estate agent can present any relevant demographic or any other statistically relevant data to assist a client, as long as it is done in a non-discriminatory way and not purposeful steering of a client.
Hi Punatick,
that was my prior post, and it related to the original question. People have softened the question after the fact by focusing on the looking at census info part and turning it into a demographics question. But here is the actual question asked:
quote:
what area or subdivision (HPP, Leilani, Ainaloa, Nanwale, Volcanoe area, etc.) by ethnic group has the most Whites?, which area has the most asians, which area has the most Micronesians?
When I took Principles of Real Estate, granted it was in California, and in the Bay Area, but we were taught that an agent could not discuss racial make-up of a neighborhood such as what is being asked here. Certainly not to say, this neighborhood has a lot of ____ (fill in blank with ethnicity client prefers), or "there aren't any ______ " (fill in with ethnicity client wishes to avoid).
Actually we were taught to walk away from any client that even broached the topic in those terms. Perhaps it is a Northern California thing? It was a class that was accredited for licensing nationally and in California.
I will admit that just seeing the word "Whites" put a really bad taste in my mouth. [  ]
Why are people scrambling to rephrase the question into something more palatable? It is what it is.
