Calle Amposta is one of the most repeatedly and severely documented streets in this entire research: a stabbing witnessed by a resident on the street roughly 18 months before an April 2026 report, narcopisos that 'expanded' into the street from 2023 onward, residents forming night patrols 'en pie de guerra' out of fear, and press headlines describing the barrio's 'angustioso dia a dia' (anguished day-to-day life). Coverage is multi-year (2023-2026) and multi-source. Sources checked: Articulo14, 8 May 2026 (stabbing witness); La Razon, 8 May 2026; 20Minutos, 13 Oct 2023 (narcopisos expand to Amposta); Telemadrid, 10 Sept 2024; Noticias para Municipios, 27 May 2026 (resident mobilisation).

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. Madrid 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.
Frequently asked questions
Is Amposta safe?
Wandroz currently rates Amposta in Madrid as an area where the data suggests extra caution relative to other neighbourhoods in Madrid, both by day and after dark. 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. Madrid publishes no comparable neighbourhood-level crime dataset; where a city does, Wandroz uses it instead.
Is Amposta safe at night?
At night, Amposta is rated as an area where the data suggests extra caution relative to other neighbourhoods in Madrid. If you're unsure, it's worth checking recent local reviews for your specific street or block, since a neighbourhood-wide rating can't capture block-by-block variation.
Is Amposta a good area to stay in as a tourist?
Amposta's day rating (an area where the data suggests extra caution relative to other neighbourhoods in Madrid) is the more relevant one for typical daytime tourist activity; check the night rating too if you'll be out late. The Booking.com link on this page searches Amposta itself.
Is there official crime data for Amposta?
Not an official government crime feed — Amposta'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). An absence of recent negative coverage is treated as inconclusive, not as proof the area is safe. If you live in or know Amposta well, you can suggest a correction using the link below.
