  My estimates for the current Marshallese population in Hawaii is based on the esl population in 2001 which i figure probably makes up approxmately 34% of the Marshallese population as a whole:
  
  Marshallese: 3,500
  
  A few Others:
  
  Chuukese: 1,282
  Pohnpeian: 441
  Kosraean: 347
  
  Palauans have been in Hawaii longer but i estimate their pop's are 500-800 (+) currently.
  
  Yapese: 150-600
  Pingelapese: 300 (150 in 1995)
  
  
  In Oregon there's an estimated 700-800 Marshallese, well between Portland & Salem.
