The station and the quarter behind it, and the one part of Parma with a designated zona rossa. ParmaToday's reportage from inside it describes massed checks, pushers running, and residents who grip their bag in the underpass; shopkeepers and residents of San Leonardo went public saying they feel abandoned, with reports of crack and heroin use in front of homes. The Comune has assigned community officers to the quarter as part of a plan for thirty more local police. Many of Parma's cheaper rooms are here — the rating is the station end at night.

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. Parma 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.

Not an official government crime feed — San Leonardo e stazione'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).
