Hawaii is one of the pricier states in the country - a Bureau of Economic Analysis regional price index of 110.0 against the 100 national average, about 10% higher overall - which is exactly what the starting rent below is adjusted for, instead of a flat national default.

Hawaii has one of the most progressive state income tax structures, with rates climbing well into double digits for top earners.

That makes it the 2nd most expensive state in the country by this measure, out of 51 - worth knowing before assuming a national-average rent applies here.
