Robbery Rates in Hawaii: Well Below National Average

Hawaii's robbery rate is among the lowest in the U.S. FBI UCR 2020 data: 132.9 per 100,000 vs. national average of 284.7—less than half.

Nuances:

• Honolulu drives most incidents; Neighbor Islands are significantly lower.
• Time-of-day: Late-night/early-morning hours see elevated risk, especially in tourist corridors (Waikīkī, Ala Moana).
• Type: Street/strong-arm robbery dominates; commercial and carjacking are rarer.

Safety basics: Avoid isolated areas after dark, secure valuables, use rideshare at night, stay situationally aware. Report any incident to HPD immediately.

Overall, Hawaii remains a low-robbery environment—especially outside urban Honolulu cores.
