Kato Ilioupoli scores 50 out of 100 for violent crime — average crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. It is home to about 7,562 people at 4,111 people per km².
The score is absolute, not a ranking: 50 is the offence rate for Greece as a whole, 100 the safest end of the scale and 0 the least safe, and every doubling of the rate costs the same number of points wherever you are. Regional units are scored from Eurostat's police-recorded offence rates per 100,000 inhabitants. Greece publishes nothing finer, so municipalities and districts share out their region's measured rate by how built-up they are and by documented local reporting — treat those two levels as an estimate, not a count of reported crime.
What Kato Ilioupoli is actually like
The lower half of Ilioupoli within the Stavroupoli unit. Be careful with the name: a separate Kato Ilioupoli is also listed as a subdivision of Evosmos in the neighbouring municipality, and Greek reporting does not always make clear which is meant. Nothing in 2024-2026 police releases or press coverage identifies this Kato Ilioupoli specifically; the only relevant reporting names Ilioupoli undifferentiated in the 2024 western shop break-in wave. It is ordinary dense residential housing.
After dark
Quiet residential streets, shops shuttered early, no documented night-time incidents specific to the area.
