One of the most relevant applications of data disaggregation in Hawaii is regarding race/ethnicity. Asians, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders are at times grouped together under the labels “Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI)” or “Asian and Pacific Islander (API).” These umbrella terms can be useful for analysis—for instance, when survey data doesn’t yield enough subgroup respondents to generate unique analytic categories. However, with the highest percentage of Asians in the country, as well as the largest Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander population in the U.S., Hawaii is better positioned than many states to dig into possible disparities among AAPI subgroups.
