🔎 VIDEO EXCERPT 🔎
I had a relative murdered there. Colleagues assaulted. Acquaintances victims of pick-pocketing. For all those motives, when someone asked me Is São Paulo Safe? the obvious answer should be a big, bold no, certainly not.
However, this is not my opinion. At least not nowadays.
Short answer: São Paulo can be considered a safe place.
For the long answer, first things first: São Paulo can be either one of the 26 states of Brazil or the capital of this same state. The city has a population of 12.2 million people. This makes it the largest city in Brazil, and one of the largest cities in the world. There is another article where we wrote about the best Brazilian cities you are interested in living in Brazil.
Only São Paulo state alone has an area equivalent to the entire United Kingdom, and a population comparable to Spain.
It is important to have those dimensions in mind. We must remember that Brazil is a continental country when we talk about violence. While I would classify Brazilian cities like Maceió or Belém as very dangerous, the question about São Paulo depends on a few conditions.
Below I will list the three main reasons to maintain that the largest city in Brazil is safe.
1st — The violence in São Paulo is very location-specific.
São Paulo (the capital city, not the state) has 96 districts. 33 of those districts have a homicide rate smaller than the USA (4.8 per 100 thousand inhabitants).
On the other hand, 28 districts have a homicide rate higher than in Nigeria. Some districts, like Jaçanã, are more violent than Mexico.
Other districts, like Jardim Paulista, are safer than Germany.
Probably the reader is guessing, correctly, that those enormous discrepancies have their origin in income levels and the presence of law enforcement. This may lead to the following conclusion:
If near one-third of the districts are super-dangerous, then it is dangerous to live there because people need to go to different parts for different reasons!
