As of May 2018, the US State Department classifies Uruguay as level 1: Exercise normal caution. Only Uruguay and Chile have this rating in South America.
Moreover, the 2018 Uruguay Crime and Safety Report states the following:
"While there are no "off limits" areas in Uruguay, there are neighborhoods within the Montevideo metropolitan area where a majority of violent crimes (homicides, carjackings, armed robberies) occur. These areas are Casabo, Cerro Norte, Cerro, La Teja, Casavalle, Borro, Marconi, 40 Semanas, Hipódromo, Villa Española, Malvín Norte, Bella Italia, and Tres Ombúes. American citizens are cautioned to avoid these areas."
