Neighborhoods in Pärnu

Pärnu is a relaxed resort city that reads as safe, with a summer footfall swing that lifts petty theft in July and August. Estonia publishes crime by county, so the figure below is the national picture; Pärnu county sits below the four highest-rate counties and is not separately published.

Bike theft and beach or terrace pickpocketing are the intuitive summer risk; serious violent crime is rare. Nothing is broken down by district.

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.
