Neighborhoods in Narva

Narva is Estonia's most Russian-speaking city, on the Russian border, and its county carries the country's highest recorded crime rate. Read that honestly: Ida-Viru's figure reflects the region's economic stress rather than a specific street danger in Narva, and Estonia publishes no per-district rate.

The county total is not broken down by district or by type at Narva level; day to day the everyday risk is low-level theft rather than violence.

Estonia records crime through the Police and Border Guard and the Ministry of Justice, and publishes it nationally and by county, never by neighborhood, so one figure applies across a city's districts. Reporting is reasonably high, but a share of thefts and assaults still go unrecorded, so treat these counts as a floor rather than a danger signal.

Estonia's crime statistics come from the Ministry of Justice annual overview, Kuritegevus Eestis, built on Police and Border Guard records. Figures are national or by county, with no breakdown below county level.
