Our estimate from traffic speed, crossings, street lighting and how many places are open nearby. It is not about crime. (median of the district's streets.)
From Hoodmaps, a crowd map where anyone tags areas. Tags are often blunt or joking and nobody checks them. Can be unreliable. (on Hoodmaps' crime list; 0 votes on danger tags, 0 on safe tags.) Hoodmaps: hoodmaps.com/krakow-neighborhood-map
Police-recorded crime for the whole region, compared with the European median. Says nothing about this district in particular. (Miasto Kraków: 555 assaults, robberies, burglaries and thefts per 100,000 people in 2024, 0.4× the European regional median.)
