The board's 4 subdistricts
1. Halawa Heights & Valley; 2. Lower Aiea/Stadium Area; 3. ʻAiea Heights; 4. E Loch/Ford Is/E Waimalu/Pearlridge
Names come from the city's GIS layer, which prints them without ʻokina or kahakō. Where the official gazetteer carries the same place name, the Ledger prints the gazetteer's spelling; a name the gazetteer does not carry is left as the layer printed it. The layer's own spelling: 1. Halawa Heights & Valley; 2. Lower Aiea/Stadium Area; 3. Aiea Heights; 4. E Loch/Ford Is/E Waimalu/Pearlridge.

Read live when this page opens: the National Weather Service's alerts for the forecast zones covering ʻAiea (HIZ010, HIZ034, HIZ036), and the state Department of Health Clean Water Branch's open advisories (brown water, sewage spills, high bacteria) for the island, which the department names by beach or coastline rather than by area. Nothing here is stored or rewritten; each agency's own wording and dates are shown.
State highway lane closures
HDOT roadworkChecking the Department of Transportation's closure schedule…
Read live from the state Department of Transportation's lane closure map layer when this page opens: approved closures on state highways in and near ʻAiea (within the area's bounding box, so a closure just outside may appear), from now through the next seven days, in the department's words. County streets are not included. Schedules can change without notice and all work is weather permitting, the department says.

Honolulu 311 reports from the city's open data, Oct. 6, 2026 to Nov. 4, 2026, counted by ZIP code; ZIP codes do not follow board boundaries, so each line describes the ZIP. Counts only: no address, no description, no report number. Request types are the city's own. Categories the city labels “Homeless” count calls made to the city, not people: they say how often neighbors reported something, not how many people are unhoused, and the state's point-in-time count is the source for that. Reports about crime are not counted here.

U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2024 5-year estimates by ZIP Code Tabulation Area, read through the Census Reporter API. These are survey estimates; ± is the 90% margin of error. ZIP code areas do not follow board boundaries, so each row describes the ZIP, not the board area. A ZIP is shown when at least a tenth of it lies inside this area.
