Paris

Paris scores 66 out of 100 in our index, safer than only 30% of the cities we rank.

The homicide rate is 1.8 per 100,000, a little above the median for the cities we track, and it is reported for the city itself with no coarser-geography caveat. Robbery is far higher, recorded at 364.2 per 100,000, though as police-recorded data it counts only reported incidents and so sits below the real figure. The governments we track are divided: the US, Canada, and Australia set France at their second advisory level, increased caution, while the UK holds it at the lowest. All four name pickpocketing and scams as risks for visitors. In a city survey, 64.8% of residents said they feel safe walking alone after dark.
