| Technical Notes: The source of the numerator is Hawaii State Dept. of Business, Economic Development, & Tourism -- State Data Book. The source of the denominator is U.S. Census Bureau -- 1990-99 County Population Estimates and 2000 Census data. DBEDT compiles figures each year from county building permits for new single-family, duplex, & apartment dwellings. NOTE: Permits do not say if they are for local residential use or -- as is often the case on the Neighbor Islands -- actually for VISITOR (e.g., vaca- tion home) use. Also, Hawaiian Homes and some other agencies may build without permits. Notes on data quality and data patterns for social indicators related to substance abuse. | |||||||||||
| Importance of the Indicator: This is one measure of transitions and mobility in neighborhoods. Although new development is often a positive thing, the stress created by a high rate of transitions into new neighborhoods is a risk factor for children who must adjust to new schools, teachers, and friends at the same time as they are coping with the loss of their usual supports. | |||||||||||
