The safety picture
A plain-language read of the sourced figures belowSingapore sits in the safest tier of our index, scoring 100 out of 100.
Its recorded figures are the lowest end of what we hold: homicide is 0.1 per 100,000, about 0.1 times the median for the cities we track, and robbery is 0.4 per 100,000. Both rates are for the city itself and were calculated by us from a count and a population, and the robbery figure, like all police data, records only reported incidents. All four governments we track hold Singapore at their lowest advisory level, in agreement, though each advisory still flags pickpocketing and scams for the destination. We have no resident survey result on how safe people feel walking alone at night.
