Most crime never reaches the police, so these are reported crimes, a floor rather than the full count. In 2024 about half of violent crimes (48%) and about 3 in 10 property crimes (31%) were reported to police (U.S. Justice Department, National Crime Victimization Survey). Rates also depend on how completely each agency reports to the FBI. City figures are the Honolulu Police Department's own reports.

The two tallest are Nuuanu Dam No. 4 (73 ft) and Nuuanu Reservoir No. 1 (34 ft). “High hazard” describes what lies downstream (people would probably die if the dam failed), not how likely the dam is to fail.

Of the seven hazards on our map, FEMA rates these highest: river flooding (Very High), wildfire (Relatively High) and earthquakes (Relatively High).
