Kato Evosmos scores 51 out of 100 (modelled estimate, Eurostat 2021–2024) for violent crime — average crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. Kato Evosmos has no police figures of its own. Its estimate is Kordelio-Evosmos's rate — Kordelio-Evosmos scores 46 for violent crime — and the 5 points between them come from how the model shares Kordelio-Evosmos's total out, not from anything measured in Kato Evosmos. An estimated 10,694 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 Kato Evosmos is actually like
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.
After dark
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.
What to watch for
- Shopfront break-ins after closing
- The central square and its approaches on weekend evenings
- Empty commercial streets late
Staying here
No. Dense, residential-commercial and far from anything a visitor comes to Thessaloniki for.
