The safety picture

A plain-language read of the sourced figures below

Innsbruck scores 98 out of 100 in our index, safer than about 85% of the cities we score.

Homicide is 0.3 per 100,000, roughly a fifth of the median for the cities we track, and robbery is 37.1 per 100,000. Both cover the wider metro area and were calculated by us from counts and populations, and the robbery figure reflects only reported incidents, so the true number is higher. The four governments we track all hold Austria at their lowest advisory level, while still flagging pickpocketing and scams for travellers. We do not hold a resident survey on how safe people feel walking alone at night in Innsbruck.

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.
