Has Hawaii's Land Area Grown Since Statehood?

No. The total land area of the Hawaiian Islands has remained essentially constant since 1959. While volcanic activity (especially Kīlauea and Mauna Loa on the Big Island) adds new land through lava flows, this is offset by coastal erosion, subsidence, and sea-level rise. Net change is negligible on human timescales.
