Is Arahiwi safe? Its score is unreliable because few people live here: crime in a commercial or public area divided by under 500 residents gives an extreme rate, so it is not ranked.

The annual total crime rate in Arahiwi is 21.3 crimes per thousand residents. The overall crime trend in the area has increased in recent months with criminal activity peaking in October 2025, June 2026.

How the safety score works

Few residents live here (141 at the 2023 Census). Crime in a commercial, industrial or harbour area is counted where it happens, so dividing it by a small resident population produces an extreme per-1,000 rate. Treat the score and rate here as unreliable; Arahiwi is excluded from regional rankings.
