Short answer: no — Vienna consistently ranks among the safest large cities in the world, and that holds across all 23 districts. Schottenring sits at 8.3 out of 10 on the safety dimension (Excellent).

Districts with major stations, nightlife and many visitors therefore collect more reports without a residential street a few corners away being any different.
