The safety picture

A plain-language read of the sourced figures below

We hold no vetted homicide or robbery rate for Wellington, and without those inputs we do not compute a composite score, so there is no single number to summarise the city.

Only 2 of our 5 incidence categories have data here, which makes the profile provisional. What we can report is the official guidance: all four governments we track, the US, Canada, the UK, and Australia, hold New Zealand at their lowest advisory level, normal precautions, with no disagreement among them. The advisories that cover the country do name petty crime and flag pickpocketing and scams aimed at visitors. We have no resident survey result on how safe people feel walking alone at night for this city.
