No specific safety incidents, robbery, or drug-market coverage tied to Casco Historico de Barajas itself was found; the substantial press coverage of insecurity in the wider Barajas district (citizen patrols, squatting) that surfaced in these searches was specifically located in the neighbouring Aeropuerto barrio, not the historic core. Current coverage of Casco Historico de Barajas instead concerns a city-funded pedestrianisation and urban-renewal project. Sources checked: El Confidencial, 27 Sept 2025 (identifies the insecurity concern as being in the Aeropuerto barrio, distinct from Casco Historico); Ayuntamiento de Madrid / 20Minutos / La Razon, 2026 (pedestrianisation project, non-safety).

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.

Is there official crime data for Casco Histórico de Barajas?
Not an official government crime feed — Casco Histórico de Barajas'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).
