Rates count residents only. Areas where many people work, shop or visit but few live, such as Waikīkī, Downtown-Chinatown and Ala Moana-Kakaʻako, show high rates for that reason; compare them with care.

From the Honolulu Police Department's incident data on the city's open data portal, March 21, 2026 to Sept. 19, 2026. 13,610 of 13,901 reports were placed in an area by block address; the rest, mostly on freeways, count only island-wide. Sex-crime reports are counted but never listed by block. Maui, Hawaiʻi Island and Kauaʻi police data are not yet on the site.
