Marseille

Marseille scores 62 out of 100 in our index, safer than only 27% of the cities we rank.

Its homicide rate is 2.6 per 100,000, about 1.6 times the median for the cities we track, though that figure covers the wider region rather than the city. Recorded robbery is 333.2 per 100,000, and because police data counts only reported incidents, the true level is higher. The governments we track disagree on how to frame France: the US, Canada, and Australia set it at their second level, increased caution, while the UK holds it at its lowest. Advisories for the country flag pickpocketing and scams aimed at travellers. Resident sentiment is notably low here: in a city survey, only 42.3% said they feel safe walking alone after dark, well below what the recorded rates alone would suggest.
