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. Budapest 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.

This comes from a structured local-source assessment: an area-level review of credible local sources — local and national news, municipal and police-published material, and official surveys where they exist — consolidated across sources rather than taken from a single report.

Is Hegyvidék (12. kerület) a good area to stay in as a tourist?

Is there official crime data for Hegyvidék (12. kerület)?
Not an official government crime feed — Hegyvidék (12. kerület)'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).
