How safe is Nußdorf?

Is Nußdorf dangerous?
Short answer: no — Vienna consistently ranks among the safest large cities in the world, and that holds across all 23 districts. Nußdorf sits at 9.0 out of 10 on the safety dimension (Excellent). One thing worth knowing when reading such figures: crime statistics count offences where they HAPPEN, not where those affected live. Districts with major stations, nightlife and many visitors therefore collect more reports without a residential street a few corners away being any different. Within a district, the gap between a busy hub and a quiet side street is usually larger than the gap between two districts.

It is not only Klosterneuburger Hochstraße you hear — traffic carries into the side streets, and finding a quiet side is a matter of luck here.
