Four generations of the Manubag-Lopez family live in a single home in Ewa Beach. Pictured in front of the home, with four of the family’s five vehicles: back row, Charmine Lopez, left, Jenna Tennent, Shabre Manu­bag, Rowena “Nani” Manubag, Vincente Manubag Jr. and Hayley Manubag; and front row, Logan Tennent, left, Acesen Tennent, William Tennent III, Brayden Manubag and Starlet Tennent. About 11.6 percent of Hawaii households are multigenerational, which is twice as much as the U.S. average and well more than the second-place state, California, which is at 8.2 percent.
