Police-recorded theft from people (including pickpocketing) per 1,000 residents in calendar 2025, reported in the Copenhagen Safety Survey 2026. This uses crime records, not respondents’ feelings of safety. The report has 13 statistical areas. Christianshavn and Indre By are merged; inner and outer Nørrebro are merged; Vesterbro and Kgs. Enghave are merged to match the ten official municipal districts. Merged rates are approximate, weighted by the resident counts published in the same report. The source rates are rounded to whole numbers and the population reference date is not specified beside the counts. No exact incident totals are inferred. Resident-based rates are elevated by visitors and commuters, especially in the city centre. These rates do not measure a visitor’s chance of theft. Only the property dimension varies locally. Official district geometry retrieved 2026-10-27; CC BY resource license. Topology-preserving simplification with area drift below 0.5%. Bruce explicitly approved limited aggregate use on 2026-10-27: publish self-calculated area aggregates and scores with official attribution; do not republish incident records, report prose or images. This is a project source-admission decision, not a claim of an open license. The citywide score uses Denmark national priors. Local evidence adjusts only property_and_scams.
