U.S. Census Bureau released the 2014 state and county population information Thursday, including estimates broken down by age, sex, the five major race groups and Hispanic origin between April 1, 2010 to July 1, 2014.

The data found that in Hawaii, “minority” populations continue to constitute the majority of the state’s population. According to the U.S. Census, a “minority” is someone who identifies their race and ethnicity as something other than non-Hispanic white.

The data also showed that Hawaii’s senior population is growing four times faster than the total population. People 65 or older accounted for approximately 16 percent of the total population in 2014, with a total of 228,154 residents.
