Is Schmelz dangerous?

Short answer: no — Vienna consistently ranks among the safest large cities in the world, and that holds across all 23 districts. Schmelz sits at 6.8 out of 10 on the safety dimension (Good). 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.

How hot does Schmelz get in summer?

This is a MODELLED index (from building form, density, green space, street trees, water and elevation, checked against the City of Vienna's climate analysis map), not a measured temperature and not a count of hot days. Within one area it varies a lot: a green courtyard and a treeless street a few metres apart are not the same place.
