Statistics On Most Risky Neighborhoods In Bsas

[nlaruccia]

This is an interesting article. It's quite surprising that the most public day light robberies actually occur in Palermo. Go figure. I had my money on Bajo Flores.

If using per capita robbery rates, Flores would beat Palermo.

But many people don't even report street theft/robberies.

As it clearly states in the article.

The thieves are no Boludos they know Palermo residents carry around Expensive Ipads, cell phones, cameras and credit cards plus cash and jewelry. The pungas specialized in purse snatching come from Colombia and other areas, The risk/benefit ratio is better in Palermo.

You have to fish where the fish are.

So many newcomers to BsAs write asking for advice, then many on the forum assure them how safe Palermo and Recoleta are, and that's just not the case.

Palermo Numero Uno in , entraderas, stabbings, snatchers,

Then why do so many on the forum give the wrong advice to the newcomers and newbies about how safe Palermo is? It doesn't seem like safe nor responsible advice.....RichOne, you've given some great advice.

Palermo chico is the most exclusive part of the city. Of course its nice and safe and clean and recommendable.

IMHO, most of BA barrios are ok regarding to safety. Palermo, Belgrano, Nuñez, Recoleta, Villa Urquiza, Caballito, Almagro, Boedo, Villa Crespo, Chacarita, Colegiales, San Telmo, Balvanera, they are pretty much all the same talking of security. Id be careful with La Boca, Barracas, Retiro, Constitucion, Once.

Honestly, for a tourist who is a week in B.A., it doesn't matter too much if its Recoleta, Palermo Soho, Palermo Hollywood or Palermo Chico. In areas you'll find bars and restaurants and they are all pretty central and safe.

belgrano got to be the most boring barrio of the capital.
...yes but its safe and secure - and when you go out you go somewhere else to party

I'm in Alto Palermo, very safe, great transport links and close to everything!

Without any doubts, Palermo Chico. We lived one year in a PH in Palermo Soho and you cannot simply compare these two. Chico is close to parks, subte, it is airy, safety and perfect for hanging out and morning running

nlaruccia I wrote one of the quotes, that Palermo Chico is safe and clean, because it totally is. Its a part of Palermo, totally different from Palermo Viejo, or Soho, or Hollywood, etc. Palermo chico is top of the line, the most exclusive and expensive part of the city by far, plenty of embassies, of important people, celebrities, mansions, etc, so YES is clearly more safe than the rest of Capital Federal (I would say is the safer barrio of the country with Puerto Madero).

Its totally another Palermo.

What looks safe does not equal what is actually safe.
