In detail

A documented wave of robberies hit local shops in autumn 2024 — SOL (14 Oct 2024) reported shopkeepers alarmed by the spree, and Correio da Manhã followed up noting the parish council said PSP had already arrested seven suspects (the area was also noted in press as "the bairro where [mayor] Carlos Moedas lives"). Separately, a January 2024 pharmacy robbery ended with the armed suspect barricading himself in a nearby building before being detained by PSP (Correio da Manhã/CNN Portugal/TVI, 4 Jan 2024). The neighbourhood's western edge also borders the Vale de Alcântara/Quinta do Loureiro drug-trafficking hotspot, with Campo de Ourique's own parish officials co-signing an open letter about it; a resident group called "Campo de Ourique Mais Seguro" reflects ongoing local safety concern. Sources checked: SOL, 14 Oct 2024 – "Vaga de assaltos em Campo de Ourique preocupa lojistas"; Correio da Manhã – "Junta de Campo de Ourique diz que a PSP já prendeu 7 suspeitos de vaga de assaltos"; Correio da Manhã – "Vaga de assaltos no bairro onde vive Carlos Moedas"; Correio da Manhã/CNN Portugal, 4 Jan 2024 – "Homem barrica-se em prédio de Lisboa depois de assaltar farmácia"; Correio da Manhã – "Alerta para o consumo de droga no vale de Alcântara" (Campo de Ourique and Alcântara joint letter).

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. Lisbon 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.
