Ano Ilioupoli scores 45 out of 100 (modelled estimate, Eurostat 2021–2024) for overall safety — average crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. Ano Ilioupoli has no police figures of its own, so its estimate is Pavlos Melas's: both score 45 for overall safety. An estimated 4,315 people live there: the 2021 census counts the surrounding community as a whole, and this is its share by area.
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

What Ano Ilioupoli is actually like
The upper half of Ilioupoli, on the higher ground of the Stavroupoli unit. It is listed in municipal and encyclopaedic sources as a distinct neighbourhood but has no separate coverage in police releases, Greek press or travel writing - the 2024 shop break-in reporting names Ilioupoli without distinguishing upper from lower. This is dense residential Thessaloniki with corner shops and no centre of its own. There is nothing area-specific to report, and no basis for treating it differently from Stavroupoli as a whole. The Monday street market (laiki) that bears its name runs 07:00-14:30 on Boumpoulinas street, between Thermopylon and Oraiokastrou, about 400 m beyond its edge.
After dark
Quiet, residential, steeply laid out and dark on the back streets. No documented incidents specific to Ano Ilioupoli.
What to watch for
- Nothing area-specific is documented beyond the wider Stavroupoli shop break-in pattern
