Good to know: we count per resident. So the centre (Moravská Ostrava a Přívoz) and places with big shopping centres or a main station come out worse: people from the whole city go there, and a case counts where it happened.

How we calculate it

We count crimes and offences recorded by the police, without acts that didn’t happen or aren’t punishable. We leave out fraud and economic crime, which the police record where they are reported. The location is blurred to the centre of a small area. In the centre, near stations and big shopping centres visitors and commuters push the numbers up; in small districts a few cases make a big difference.

The colour shows the ratio to all of Ostrava: green below 0.6 times the average, yellow around it (0.85–1.15), orange and red above. Small districts with a few thousand residents vary more.
