99 areas with estimates. Area evidence as of .

recorded_thefts_per_1000_residents · 2025-01-01/2025-12-31.

2025 theft cases, PKS ******, pages 161–164. 80,456 assigned cases; 2,739 Hamburg location unknown and 320 other location unknown excluded from local rates. City total 83,515 retained separately. The population source combines four pairs of districts: their geometries and theft totals are merged before rate calculation. Neuwerk has no denominator in the selected population table and is omitted, not scored as safe. 99 statistical areas cover 103 of 104 Stadtteile. Population is registered population on 2025-12-31. Geometry retrieved 2026-10-27, simplified with topology preserved and area drift below 0.5%; source atlas map images are not copied. The citywide score uses Germany national priors. Local recorded-theft rates adjust only the property dimension. Resident-based rates can be elevated in visitor and commuter districts; they are not per-visitor probabilities.

Before choosing accommodation

  1. Locate your intended stay on the map and check whether that area has evidence.
  2. Read what drives the local differences. A citywide score and an area estimate answer different questions.
  3. Check current local advice and your transport options separately. These estimates cannot assess a specific hotel, street or time of day.

City sources and their limitations
  • European Commission JRC and INFORM partners · Germany INFORM Mid-2026 component priors

    Natural=4; current conflict intensity=1.1; infrastructure=0.7; access to health care=0.6. Each published 0–10 component is multiplied by ten for the existing research risk scale.; Country humanitarian-risk components are weak priors, not measured Hamburg street or individual tourist risks.; European Union, CC BY 4.0; component extraction and research transformation by Safrom.

  • UNODC via UN Statistics Division · Germany homicide 2023 and theft 2022, UN Statistical Yearbook

    Homicide: 0.9 per 100,000 (2023); theft: 1,241.4 per 100,000 (2022). Country observations, not Hamburg rates.; Property prior uses the same 2022 UN theft series against France (2,011.4), anchored at the existing France research risk 45: 45 + bounded(10 × log2(rate/reference), ±20). This is an explicit weak model calibration, not an official score.; Recording definitions and reporting propensity differ between countries. This country comparison does not create locally observed risks; geographic-fit confidence is 0.2.

  • European Commission, CARE and national sources · Germany road deaths, 2025 preliminary

    34 deaths per million residents, equivalent to 3.4 per 100,000. Preliminary full-year estimate published 2026-03-24; not Hamburg traffic exposure.; European Union, CC BY 4.0; unit conversion and research transformation by Safrom.
