The safety picture

A plain-language read of the sourced figures below

Tel Aviv scores 65 out of 100 in our index, safer than only 29% of the cities we score.

Its homicide rate is 3.6 per 100,000, about 2.3 times the median we track, and its recorded robbery rate is 35.6 per 100,000; both are city-level figures we derived from counts and populations, and the robbery number, being police-recorded, understates the true level. The governments we track diverge sharply on the wider risk. Canada places Israel at its highest advisory level, do not travel, while the UK and Australia each set it a step lower at reconsider travel. Their advisories flag pickpocketing and scams for visitors. On perception, 72.7% of people said they feel safe walking alone at night, but that survey is national and not specific to Tel Aviv.

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.

Robbery (police-recorded)

Robbery (per 100,000)
35.6/100k
Police-recorded robbery reflects cases reported to and recorded by the Israel Police, not total incidence — under-reporting is higher for robbery than for homicide. Read this as recorded robbery.
Rate computed by project-atlas: 176 (count, 2025) ÷ 494900 population (Israel Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) — Population of localities (end of 2024 estimate), 2024) × 100k.
