Despite Hawaii's heavily Democratic statewide lean, this district returned a 2024 presidential margin of just D+1.7, making it an outlier that draws attention from both parties in legislative cycles.

A population of 27,096, a 2% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $115,741 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of State House District 29 and State House District 39.
