Hawaiʻi’s Genuine Progress Indicator (HI GPI)

The Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI) is an indicator of economic welfare representing the costs and benefits of economic activity. While GPI is expressed as a single annual number, it can be decomposed into its constituent parts, which consist of indicators related to the economy, as well as social and environmental change. Looking at total GPI from years 2000 to 2020, Hawaiʻi genuinely progressed on average 1.5 percent each year.

This site is designed with a navigation bar at the top of each page. Navigate by selecting the indicators of interest within the bar. The top row of the bar represents GPI = Economic Indicators + Social Indicators + Environmental Indicators. The bottom row represents GPI = PCE_ADJ + PP + KB + KH + KS – SC + KN – POL – DKN. Further details can be found at GPI Details and information on calculating GPI can be found here. Otherwise, all information can be found within the HI GPI report linked below.
