The safety picture

A plain-language read of the sourced figures below

Miami scores 69 out of 100, safer than 35% of the cities we rank.

Both its core figures are reported at the city level with no coarser-area or derivation caveats attached: homicide is 6.3 per 100,000, about 3.9 times the median for the cities we track, and robbery is 97.3 per 100,000. Three governments weigh in, and Canada, the UK, and Australia all place the United States at their lowest advisory level, with no disagreement. Their advisories still name pickpocketing and scams for the destination. On perception, 60% of people said they feel safe walking alone at night, though that survey is national rather than specific to Miami, so it should be read against the higher city homicide figure with some caution.

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.
