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. Marina West; 2. Marina Central; 3. Hahaione Valley; 4. Hahaione High Rise; 5. Hawaii Kai Ridge & Cove; 6. Kamiloiki; 7. Kalama Valley; 8. Lunalilo Park Mauka; 9. Lunalilo Park Makai; 10.

Ocean water advisories on Oʻahu
Checking the Department of Health…
Read live when this page opens: the National Weather Service's alerts for the forecast zones covering Hawaiʻi Kai (HIZ009, HIZ032), 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 Hawaiʻi Kai (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.
Police reports
By block83 incidents reported to the Honolulu Police Department in the 90 days to Nov. 4, 2026 (70 in the 90 days before). Most common: theft/larceny (23), vandalism (21), fraud (10). Reports by block and by type.
Reports to police as HPD's open data records them, not findings or arrests; no one is named.
What neighbors reported to the city
ZIP 96825: 42 reports. Most common: Street Sign (7), Streetlight (6), Other (5), Trees – Park & Street (3), Beach/Park (3).
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.
