Hawaii in United States
Map of the United States with Hawaii highlighted

Hawaii is a special state because it doesn't have regular cities and towns like other places in the United States. Instead, it has what are called census-designated places (CDPs). These are areas that the U.S. Census Bureau defines for counting people, even though they aren't officially incorporated as cities or towns.

There are 151 of these CDPs across Hawaii. The biggest one is Honolulu, which is both the state capital and a county. This list shows the largest CDPs in Hawaii, based on how many people lived there in 2020.
