The highest criminality coefficient in Bucharest in 2025 at 112.70, and steady rather than falling — it was 113.06 in 2024 and 112.77 in 2023. The figures are the Bucharest Police's own published “coefficient of specific criminality” by sector, 2014-2025. The force does not state what the coefficient is per, so it is used here to compare sectors against each other and against their own past, which is what it supports, and not read as a rate per head. Pantelimon and Colentina are the neighbourhoods here that residents name in perception surveys, and unlike most such reputations this one is matched by the sector's numbers. Residential; Obor market is the only reason a visitor comes.

Search accommodation here on Booking.com →
Booking.com has no separate search area for this neighbourhood, so this link searches the whole city rather than just this area.
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. Bucharest 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.
