A plain-language read of the sourced figures belowJeju City scores 100 out of 100 in our composite index, placing it in the safest tier.
The homicide rate is 0.2 per 100,000, about a tenth of the median for the cities we track, and the robbery rate is 1.2 per 100,000. Both figures are for the city itself, and we calculated each from a raw count and a population. All four governments we track hold South Korea at their lowest advisory level, with no disagreement. Every advisory that covers the country also flags pickpocketing and scams aimed at visitors. On perception, 54% of people said they feel safe walking alone at night, a lower figure than the recorded crime alone might suggest, but that survey result is for the country as a whole rather than Jeju City on its own.
