Hawaiʻi Survey Finds Rising Life Satisfaction Alongside More Residents Considering Move
A recent survey in Hawaiʻi indicates that while life satisfaction levels among residents are increasing, a greater number of people are also contemplating moving out of the state.

Honolulu, HI, October 14, 2026 —
A recent survey in Hawaiʻi found two trends among residents: life satisfaction levels are increasing, and more people are contemplating moving out of the state. The findings indicate that these measures are moving in different directions, though the information provided does not explain why.
The survey summary does not include figures showing the size of either change, the period covered, or how many residents were surveyed. It also does not identify the organization that conducted the survey or provide details about its methodology. Without those details, the scale of the reported shifts and how they were measured cannot be assessed from the available information.
The findings do not establish that rising life satisfaction is connected to residents’ thoughts about leaving. They also do not specify whether people considering a move have made plans, when they might leave, or what factors may be shaping their views. No reasons for the reported increase in consideration of moving were provided.
The parallel trends offer a limited snapshot of sentiment in Hawaiʻi: residents’ reported satisfaction is rising even as more are thinking about relocating. The summary does not provide comparisons by location or demographic group, or details that would show whether the patterns apply broadly across the state.
Further information about the survey’s questions, timing and results would be needed to understand the findings in greater detail. For now, the available summary reports the two changes but provides no underlying data or explanation for them.
