The board's 5 subdistricts
1. Puʻunui; 2. Alewa/Liliha; 3. Kapalama/Kamehameha Heights; 4. Lanakila; 5. Kuakini
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. Puunui; 2. Alewa/Liliha; 3. Kapalama/Kamehameha Heights; 4. Lanakila; 5. Kuakini.

Read live when this page opens: the National Weather Service's alerts for the forecast zone covering Liliha-ʻĀlewa (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

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 Liliha-ʻĀlewa (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 block63 incidents reported to the Honolulu Police Department in the 90 days to Sept. 19, 2026 (79 in the 90 days before). Most common: theft/larceny (18), vandalism (9), fraud (8). 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 96817: 166 reports. Most common: Debris/Litter/Dumping (16), Street Sign (14), Homeless – Encampments (13), Streetlight (12), Other (10).
Honolulu 311 reports from the city's open data, Aug. 21, 2026 to Sept. 19, 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.
On the board's agenda
The board at NCONo agenda for this board is on file yet. The Neighborhood Commission Office sends each board's agendas by email; the Ledger will carry them here, in the office's words, as they arrive.

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.
The island-wide record
Oʻahu has one city government, so most decisions that reach Liliha-ʻĀlewa are made for the whole island. Those records have one home each: City Council and committee agendas and every open land-use file.
