The safety picture

A plain-language read of the sourced figures below

San Antonio scores 63 out of 100 in our composite index, safer than only about 28% of the cities we score.

Its homicide rate is 4 per 100,000, about 2.5 times the median tracked city, and covers the municipality rather than a single neighbourhood. Recorded robbery is 2 per 100,000, drawn from police data, which counts only reported incidents and so understates the true level. The three governments we track for the United States here, Canada, the UK, and Australia, all hold it at their lowest advisory level, and each still names pickpocketing and scams for visitors. A national survey found 60% of people say they feel safe walking alone at night, though that result is for the country rather than San Antonio on its own.

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.

Police-recorded robbery (hurto con violencia) — Colombian hurto is under-reported (cifra negra), so read this as recorded robbery, not total robbery.
Police-recorded robbery undercounts true incidence — Mexico has a high share of unreported crime (cifra negra), more so for robbery than homicide. Read this as recorded robbery, not total robbery.
