The ACS yearly estimates were pretty far off for Hawaii which I figured was the case especially after moving back there twice over the past 10 years & noticing it first hand. I've noticed a lot more African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos (especially on Maui & The Big Island of Hawaii) & a WHOLE lot more Micronesians living & moving there over the past decade which has definitely made a significant impact growth-wise. It looks like the state's growth was probably undercounted by at least 5,000-6,000 per year which is a lot for such a small state population-wise. However, I am surprised that the states population increased enough to pass Maine & New Hampshire this time around moving it up to the 40th most populous state.
