The safety picture

A plain-language read of the sourced figures below

Skopje is thinner in our dataset than most entries.

We hold no vetted homicide or robbery rate for the city, and without those inputs we do not compute a composite score, so there is no single number to point to. With only two of the five incidence categories covered, this profile should be read as provisional. The advisories are the solid part of the record and they agree: all four governments we track put North Macedonia at their lowest level. Each of those advisories still names pickpocketing and scams aimed at travellers. We have no resident survey figure on perceived safety for the city or the country.

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.
