East Caracas generally refers to the eastern portions of Caracas, and may refer specifically to the municipalities from the Metropolitan District of Caracas located in Miranda State: Chacao, Baruta, Sucre, and El Hatillo. It concentrates the 34.8% population of the Metropolitan District of Caracas, and the 21.7% population of the Greater Caracas Area.
It's considered as the safer part of Caracas since most neighbourhoods on the eastern side have a lower crime rate than those to West Caracas, also is the richest side since there is more middle class to upscale neighbourhoods rather than low-class. It holds most of the trendy shops, malls, restaurants, bars, and clubs in Caracas.
