A 2019 profile piece explicitly stated the barri's reputation for insecurity is 'not a safety issue' and driven by economic/social factors and poorly lit corners, not crime. However, Trinitat Nova metro station has a documented pattern of serious late-night violence against transit security staff: a March 2022 assault leaving a guard with a broken hand, and a 22 Nov 2025 attack by ~10 young people using pepper spray, bottles and an expandable baton that left a guard needing 12 stitches (attackers arrested Dec 2025, barred from the metro). This is a real, repeated night-time violence pattern at this specific station. Sources checked: metropoliabierta.elespanol.com, Apr 2019 / Mar 2022 / 23 Nov 2025; elcaso.elnacional.cat, Dec 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.
