Pagona scores 45 out of 100 (modelled estimate, Eurostat 2021–2024) for violent crime — average crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. Pagona has no police figures of its own. Its estimate is Patras's rate — Patras scores 47 for violent crime — and the 2 points between them come from how the model shares Patras's total out, not from anything measured in Pagona. An estimated 2,748 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 Pagona is actually like
An inner neighbourhood on the eastern slope above the centre, lying north of Sinora and Kantrianika and running into Tabahana and Drosia. It is close-grained residential Patras: a mix of interwar houses and post-war blocks on steep streets, long-settled families, a parish church and neighbourhood shops, with the General Hospital and the Girokomeio green belt not far above. People come through it rather than to it. Against Drosia and Terpsithea on the same slope it is older and denser; against the districts named in police patrol lists it has no documented crime profile at all, and reads as an ordinary quiet residential quarter.
After dark
Quiet. Steep narrow streets with modest lighting and little late footfall, but no reported incidents or patrol priority. The hospital traffic above keeps some movement going through the night.
What to watch for
- Steep, narrow and poorly lit residential streets at night
- Standard home and vehicle security
Staying here
Workable if you find a short let and want quiet close to the centre — it is within walking distance downhill. Not convenient for an early Italy ferry; take a taxi to the South Port.
