Hawaii Vehicle Theft Rates and Vehicle Theft Maps

Crime Grade's vehicle theft map shows the safest places in Hawaii in green. The most dangerous areas in Hawaii are in red, with moderately safe areas in yellow. Crime rates on the map are weighted by the type and severity of the crime.

Is Hawaii Safe?

The D grade means the rate of vehicle theft is higher than the average US state. Hawaii is in the 18th percentile for safety, meaning 82% of states are safer and 18% of states are more dangerous. This analysis applies to Hawaii's proper boundaries only. See the table on nearby places below for nearby states.

The rate of vehicle theft in Hawaii is 3.633 per 1,000 residents during a standard year. People who live in Hawaii generally consider the south part of the state to be the safest.

Your chance of being a victim of vehicle theft in Hawaii may be as high as 1 in 259 in the northwest neighborhoods, or as low as 1 in 325 in the south part of the state. See the section on interpreting the vehicle theft map, however, because comparing rates for vehicle theft or any other crime is not as intuitive as it may seem.

By a simple count ignoring population, more crimes occur in the central parts of Hawaii: about 1,927 per year. The south part of Hawaii has fewer cases of vehicle theft with only 48 in a typical year.

Interpreting the Vehicle Theft Maps

When looking at the vehicle theft map for Hawaii, remember that the rate of vehicle theft per resident may appear inflated when people visit the area during the day, but do not live there. For example, there are more retail establishments in the central part of the state. Many crimes are committed in retail areas in blocks where few people live. Red areas on the vehicle theft rate map do not always indicate danger for Hawaii residents who live there.

More issues arise with places like airports, parks, and schools. Major airports, of which Hawaii has 7, always look like high-crime locations due to the large number of people and the low population nearby. Parks and designated recreational areas, of which Hawaii has 318, have the same problem. Of Hawaii’s 1,529,984 residents, few live near recreational areas. Because many people visit, crime rates may appear higher even for safe parks. Ultimately crime happens where people are, whether they live there or not. Before writing off an area as unsafe, look at both the crime rate and total crime maps, then consider nearby destinations that people may be visiting.
