i hate the acres are being given such a bad rap about this. like any neighborhood there are good and bad spots. i think the police have the stats on the various subdivisions. i know at one community group we had in the acres, by far, the most crime was in HPP which is considered a "good" one. as far as murder i believe HPP is the top and also property crime. I think volcano has the least for some years running, and in kau it is mainly agricultural type thieft issues. HA has a wild reputation as does fern forest and eden roc and you really have to check out each road separately. but just as there are microclimates everywhere in puna, there are micro neighborhoods also. and remember, a new neighbor is just one moving van away...
