A 2021 piece described social-coexistence friction (loud gatherings, alcohol, litter) linked to demographic change, not documented crime. The neighbourhood park has been closed at night during Sant Joan since a 2022 fight disrupted the celebration, and the city announced a €6M renewal (Jan 2025) targeting the area's feel. No robbery/assault pattern targeting the public was found; night-time park disorder is the concrete, sourced issue. Sources checked: metropoliabierta.elespanol.com, Jan 2021 / Jun 2022 / Jan 2025.

This link is already scoped to this area (not the whole city), using the neighbourhood's real coordinates.
This rating comes from a structured local-source assessment. This specific area was reviewed against credible local sources — local and national news, municipal and police-published material, and official surveys where they exist — and the signals were consolidated across sources rather than taken from any single report, with the reasoning and the sources shown above. Barcelona publishes no comparable neighbourhood-level crime dataset; where a city does publish one, Wandroz uses it instead of an assessment. Where a review finds nothing documented, that is recorded as no findings rather than as a safety rating.

Is there official crime data for el Turó de la Peira?
Not an official government crime feed — el Turó de la Peira's rating comes from Wandroz's own current local/national press and survey research for this specific area instead (see the note on this page for what was checked and the sources used).
