No official source names specific areas to avoid here: travel advisories for China are country-level, and no published dataset covers neighborhood-level crime - so this briefing does not invent it.
How safe is 赵家沟 really?
No published homicide figure exists for 赵家沟 itself, so the national rate stands in: China recorded 0.5 homicides per 100,000 people in 2020 - well below the global city median. The city itself may be safer or more dangerous than its country's average. China's income inequality is middling (Gini 36.0) - in this dataset inequality predicts city violence better than any other structural factor, so this neither raises nor lowers the picture much.
What the travel advisories say
The UK Foreign Office publishes travel advice for China without any avoid-travel warning in force. Both advisories are country-level: no official source publishes verified neighborhood-level crime guidance for individual cities, which is why this page reports named areas only where an official source names them.

How the score works
One fixed, calibrated mix for every city: 40% homicide · 25% peace · 25% equality · 10% HDI. Homicide and conflict deaths are measured outcomes; income inequality carries the structural share because it predicts real city violence far better than national income (which is shown above but scored at zero). Each factor maps to 0-100 against fixed anchors, missing data drops out and is never estimated, and cities with data behind less than half the weighting get “no data” instead of a score. For 赵家沟 that gives 82.7/100. Full methodology, anchors and sources →

Differences are plain arithmetic between the two stored figures — nothing is modelled. Both cities are in China, so they share every country-level figure and only the city-level ones are listed. Full report for Dalian →
