Καστελόκαμπος · district
Kastelocampos scores 60 out of 100 for violent crime — average crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. It is home to about 3,045 people at 618 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.
A northern suburb about 8 km from the centre by road, bordering Rio, Proastio and Dafnes and the University of Patras campus. This is the heart of the university and hospital belt: campus buildings and student housing on one side, the coast road and a strip of detached houses, apartments and seafront tavernas on the other, with a resident mix of academics, staff, students and commuting families. People come for the campus, the beach and the tavernas. Against Rio next door it is quieter and more residential; against Proastio it is more institutional. Its documented problem is burglary of houses.
Campus and student housing keep some activity going; the residential lanes and the seafront are quiet, and lighting off the main roads is limited. Kastelokampos is named in police data as a consistently high-risk zone for residential burglaries, and a police operation targeting drugs covered Rio and Kastelokampos.
Reasonable if you have university or hospital business, with rooms and apartments along the coast. Poor for an early Italy ferry: you are 8 km north of the centre and about 12 km from the South Port gates.
