Kozani and Grevena scores 88 out of 100 (police-recorded offences, Eurostat 2021–2024) for overall safety — very low crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. Property crime 100 is where the scale ends, not a measurement: the rate, 79 offences per 100,000 residents a year, is below 85, where the scale stops, so places at 100 are not ranked against each other. It is home to about 181,953 people (2021 census).
The score is absolute, not a ranking: 50 is the offence rate of Greece as a whole and every doubling of the rate costs the same points, so any two places compare directly. How the scores are made
