Safest vs Most Dangerous Countries in the World Ranked
Posted: May 27th, 2022, 3:49 pm
I found this site that ranked the safest vs most dangerous countries in the world:
https://www.travelsafe-abroad.com/countries/
Due diligence is always needed on top of generalized rankings like this, but a lot of the relative rankings they listed here seemed pretty accurate from what I've looked into, even though it's also always true there's safer vs more dangerous sub-zones in every country.
You can see they have it color-coded on their site:
They rank 66 and above as Green (comparatively safe), 65 to 34 orange (medium), and 33 and lower red zone for higher danger.
Then you can click a country and they have a page for each country with more details. Looks pretty useful and informative to me!
They described their methodology briefly like this:
They list all countries in one big list that you can look at alphabetically or ranked by their scores, but I'm going to edit this post in a minute and put in the rankings organized by the major geographic areas I'm interested in............

I thought of this because we were having an exchange in another thread where @WanderingProtagonist pointed out there was a lot of crime in parts of Jamaica and some African countries, but looking at lists like this you can actually see some Caribbean and African countries rank as even safer in general than many Asian or collapsing ex-European or 'Western' countries.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 rank countries from 0-100, 0-33 being the most dangerous, 33-66 somewhat safe/dangerous, and 66-100 the safest.
