What the numbers say
- In 2019, Honolulu County's rent was the same as the Hawaii average and 1.2 times the US average.
- It is the lowest of the 2 Hawaii counties NASS published for 2019.
- From 2010 to 2019 it fell 33.3%, from $24 to $16 an acre.
- Gaps are years with no separate Honolulu figure: NASS ran no county survey in 2015 or 2018, in 2021, 2022, 2024, 2025 and 2026 it combined Honolulu into "other counties", and NASS had no figure available in 2011, 2012, 2016, 2020 and 2023. Nothing is filled in.

What this measures
NASS asks farm operators what they pay in cash rent per acre, separately for irrigated cropland, non-irrigated cropland and pasture. State figures come out at the end of July; county figures follow in August. When too few farms in a county answer, NASS combines that county with others and publishes one "other counties" figure, so some counties have no figure of their own.
