The safety picture
A plain-language read of the sourced figures belowHonolulu scores 87 out of 100 in our index, safer than about 59% of the cities we score.
Both crime figures are specific to the city and carry no coarser-area or estimation caveats. Homicide is 2.3 per 100,000, roughly 1.4 times the median for the cities we track, and robbery is recorded at 58.2 per 100,000. Canada, the UK, and Australia each hold the United States at their lowest advisory level, and no US self-advisory applies. Their guidance still names pickpocketing and scams. On perception, 60% of people said they feel safe walking alone after dark, a figure that comes from a nationwide survey rather than Honolulu itself, so it reflects the country rather than this city.
