The crime index is an estimation of the overall level of crime in a given city or country. Numbeo ranked 329 cities on its crime index. The Numbeo Safety Index is a crowd-sourced list that ranks 329 cities using user feedback on questions related to safety, cost of living, pollution and crime.

‘We consider crime levels lower than 20 as very low, crime levels between 20 and 40 as low, between 40 and 60 as moderate, between 60 and 80 as high, and crime levels higher than 80 as very high. Safety index is quite the opposite of the crime index. If the city has a high safety index, it is considered very safe,’ Numbeo said on its website.
