Neighborhoods in Daugavpils

Daugavpils reads as a low-crime city day to day; a crowd-sourced cross-check rates its crime level low and daytime walking safety very high. Latgale is Latvia's poorest region, so read any social stress here as structural economics rather than street danger. Latvia publishes crime by municipality, but the exact Daugavpils row is not cleanly published, so the figure below is the national picture rather than a per-area rate.

Everyday crime here is low-level property theft rather than violence, and nothing is broken down by district. Karosta-style reputations elsewhere aside, the city itself reads as calm.

Latvia records crime through the State Police (Valsts policija) and the Central Statistical Bureau, and publishes it nationally and by municipality, never by neighborhood, so one figure applies across a city's districts. Latvia carries the EU's highest recorded homicide rate, a country-level figure concentrated in domestic and alcohol-related violence, not a Daugavpils-street fact, so read the headline with that context, and treat recorded counts as a floor rather than a danger signal.

Latvia's crime statistics come from the Central Statistical Bureau (CSP, Centrālā statistikas pārvalde) and the State Police (Valsts policija). Figures are national or by municipality, with no breakdown below municipality level.
