How the Safety Index Scores Are Calculated

We analyzed data from public sources such as police reports and international polls and ran a unique formula to calculate the risk based on the number of incidents, including mugging, drugs, violent crimes, bribery, property crimes, stolen vehicles, religion, and racial tolerance, and more.

Our index ranks countries from 0-100, 0-33 being the most dangerous, 33-66 somewhat safe/dangerous, and 66-100 the safest.

Risk classifications reflect general conditions and may vary by city, region, or time of year.
