Κάτω Εύοσμος · district
Kato Evosmos scores 46 out of 100 for property crime — average crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. It is home to about 10,694 people at 7,743 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.
The lower, older central part of Evosmos, below the ring road and closest to Kordelio and the city. This is the dense commercial core where the shops, the square and the street market life are, and it carries the district's documented problems by default - the shop break-in reporting and the juvenile-delinquency operations are recorded for Evosmos without splitting upper from lower, and the commercial frontages that were targeted are concentrated here.
Busy until the shops shut, then quickly empty. The documented overnight risk is to shopfronts rather than to people; the request from local businesses was specifically for policing after 00:30.
No. Dense, residential-commercial and far from anything a visitor comes to Thessaloniki for.
