A low-confidence first reference using Brazil-level structural indicators with official violent-crime, robbery, and kidnapping guidance kept in the property dimension only.
Safrom's citywide research estimate is 56/100. Higher scores mean safer on the model's scale. Evidence as of . Confidence: D.

Area evidence and limitations
All 32 municipal subprefecture boundaries are represented, not the wider metropolitan region. Area variation uses the published traffic-death counts in Prefeitura de São Paulo's July 2025 indicator collection divided by its 2022 resident populations. The source lists a 2016-2023 historical series but does not explicitly state the aggregation window of the displayed counts; these are NOT annual rates. Log relative pressure is standardized across all 32 subprefectures, centered on the unchanged city score 56, with multiplier 4 and bounds 48-64. This cohort differs from the old five-parent sample. Only mobility evidence varies; population is not road-use, commuter or visitor exposure. No day/night difference or official safety ranking is inferred. 2026 display boundaries are joined to the published subprefecture names, not a reconstruction of historical boundaries.

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

Batch-generated global-scale research estimates. Local signals are used when available; otherwise documented country-level baselines and official current-condition guidance provide a low-confidence first reference. Not travel advice.
does not provide a comparable São Paulo incident rate; large within-city and time-of-day variation remains hidden; advisory level is not an absolute safety score; U.S.-traveler perspective
country-level only; modeled perceptions rather than traveler incidents; cannot represent neighborhood variation or current events; confidence intervals must not be discarded
