Kato Ilioupoli scores 48 out of 100 (modelled estimate, Eurostat 2021–2024) for violent crime — average crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. Kato Ilioupoli has no police figures of its own. Its estimate is Pavlos Melas's rate — Pavlos Melas scores 50 for violent crime — and the 2 points between them come from how the model shares Pavlos Melas's total out, not from anything measured in Kato Ilioupoli. An estimated 7,562 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 Ilioupoli is actually like
The lower half of Ilioupoli within the Stavroupoli unit. Be careful with the name: a separate Kato Ilioupoli is also listed as a subdivision of Evosmos in the neighbouring municipality, and Greek reporting does not always make clear which is meant. Nothing in 2024-2026 police releases or press coverage identifies this Kato Ilioupoli specifically; the only relevant reporting names Ilioupoli undifferentiated in the 2024 western shop break-in wave. It is ordinary dense residential housing. The nearest weekly street markets (laiki) are Wednesday's on Sofokleous street, about 200 m beyond its edge, and Monday's on Boumpoulinas street, about 350 m away.
After dark
Quiet residential streets, shops shuttered early, no documented night-time incidents specific to the area.
