The safety picture

A plain-language read of the sourced figures below

Luxembourg City scores 87 out of 100, safer than 59% of the cities we score.

Both crime figures are reported at the country level rather than the city: homicide at 1.4 per 100,000, about 0.9 times the median, and robbery at 101 per 100,000. Each rate was calculated by us and carries some uncertainty in its population base, and the robbery figure, as police data, counts only reported incidents. We track three governments for Luxembourg, the US, Canada, and Britain, and all three hold it at their lowest advisory level, while naming petty crime and flagging pickpocketing and scams for visitors. In a city-level survey, 81.9% of residents said they feel safe walking alone after dark, consistent with the low crime figures.

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.

National figure (Luxembourg = one NUTS 3 region, LU000). Counts and population both cover the whole country, not Luxembourg City alone — recorded crime concentrates in the capital, so the city-proper rate is not directly observable from this national figure.

Rate computed by project-atlas: 9 (count, 2022) ÷ 645397 population (Eurostat — Population on 1 January by age group sex and NUTS 3 region (demo_r_pjangrp3), 2022) × 100k.
