The safety picture

A plain-language read of the sourced figures below

Ljubljana scores 100 out of 100, the top of our scale.

The underlying figures are low but worth reading closely. Its homicide rate is 0.7 per 100,000, about 0.4 times the median, calculated by us from a count and a population and covering the wider metro area. Recorded robbery is 27.8 per 100,000, also a metro-area figure we derived ourselves, and police records count only reported incidents, so the true level is somewhat higher. All four governments we track hold Slovenia at their lowest advisory level, with no disagreement, while still naming petty crime and flagging pickpocketing and scams for visitors. Resident sentiment matches the low crime figures: in a city-level survey, 85.2% said they feel safe walking alone at night.

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.
