Tor Cervara is a semi-industrial, peripheral area of eastern Rome with pockets of residential housing, some of it in occupied buildings. Local press has documented a serious and recurring problem: one occupied building was found to house a 'crack house' with roughly 20 makeshift drug-use rooms and over a kilo of drugs seized, and repeated police blitzes followed in 2026, including a July operation that identified 30 occupants and seized drugs. The recurring, well-documented crack house and drug-trafficking findings justify a red rating at night, with yellow by day given the fixed-location nature of the problem rather than general daytime street crime.

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. Rome 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.
