Naples

Naples scores 83 out of 100 in our composite index, placing it above the halfway mark of the 192 cities we rank.

Its homicide rate is 1.1 per 100,000, below the median for the cities we track, but that figure covers the wider metro area and we calculated it from a raw count and a population, so read it as an upper bound. Recorded robbery is 92.4 per 100,000, also a metro figure, and police data captures only reported incidents, so the real level runs higher. The four governments we track are split at the milder end: the US and Canada apply increased caution, while the UK and Australia hold Italy at their lowest level. Every advisory covering the country flags pickpocketing and scams aimed at visitors. In a city survey, 42.6% of residents said they feel safe walking alone at night, well below what the crime figures might suggest.
