Safety Calculations?
For this ranking of the safest cities in the world, we are looking at the report of the Economist Intelligence Unit’s Safe Cities Index (SCI). The report ranked 60 cities around the world based on a multitude of factors in regards to the city's digital security, health security, infrastructure, and personal safety. Each of these safety and security categories was then given a score from 0-100 and the average of those became the city's overall safety score. These are the results, in ascending order.
