The safety picture

A plain-language read of the sourced figures below

Tashkent scores 91 out of 100 in our composite, safer than about 66% of the cities we score.

That score rests on a thin base. Its homicide rate is 1.0 per 100,000, roughly 0.6 times the median we track, a figure we derived from a count and a population and one whose definition differs somewhat from our standard. We hold no vetted robbery rate for the city. The governments we track mostly agree: the US, Canada, and the UK keep Uzbekistan at their lowest advisory level, while Australia raises it a step to increased caution. All four advisories flag pickpocketing and scams for travellers. We have no resident perception survey here, and with three of five incidence categories filled, this profile is provisional.

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.

Homicide / general violence

Intentional homicides (per 100,000)

1/100k

SIAT indicator 807 counts registered intentional murders AND attempted murders together (qasddan odam o‘ldirish va o‘ldirishga suiqasd / умышленные убийства и покушения). It includes attempts, so it runs higher than the ICCS 0101 completed-intentional-homicide definition used for peer cities — read it as registered murder-and-attempted-murder, not strictly completed homicides.

Rate computed by project-atlas: 32 (count, 2025) ÷ 3112800 population (National Statistics Committee of Uzbekistan (SIAT) — Permanent population by region (indicator 246 / 2.01.02.0001; beginning of 2025), 2025) × 100k.
