The safety picture

A plain-language read of the sourced figures below

Dubrovnik scores 100 out of 100 in our composite, the top of the scale.

The figures below it need a careful read. Its homicide rate of 0.9 per 100,000 and robbery rate of 2.6 per 100,000 are both reported for the wider state, not the city itself, and we derived them from raw counts and populations, so take them as upper bounds on the local level. The robbery figure is also police-recorded, which means it understates the real frequency. All four governments we track, the US, Canada, the UK, and Australia, hold Croatia at their lowest advisory level. We do not hold a survey figure on how safe residents feel walking alone at night, though every advisory covering the country flags pickpocketing and scams aimed at visitors.

The radar shows the three sourced, comparable risk measures (homicide, robbery, the strictest travel-advisory level). Tourist petty-crime signals are a different kind of measure — how often advisories mention them — so they are shown as rows under Tourist-specific incidents, not as radar axes.

Police-recorded robbery undercounts true incidence (not every robbery is reported). Read this as recorded robbery, not total robbery.
