Terpsithea has no police figures of its own, so its estimate is Pavlos Melas's: both score 45 for overall safety. An estimated 3,715 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 Terpsithea is actually like
One of the older residential zones of the Stavroupoli unit, listed in municipal sources alongside Ampelones and Neoktista. It is dense, long-settled housing without a distinct commercial centre. There is no crime reporting, municipal safety material or travel coverage specific to Terpsithea, and the name is shared with other settlements in Greece, which makes searches unreliable. The relevant safety picture is Stavroupoli's: overnight shopfront break-ins and periodic police operations on under-18s, not risk to people on the street. Its weekly street market (laiki) is on Wednesdays on Sofokleous street; the market is listed as Stavroupoli (Kapnomagaza).
After dark
Residential and quiet after dark, with the wider Stavroupoli property-crime pattern the only documented concern.
