Which countries are safest to live in?
Qatar leads on safety score at 100/100; Croatia is last of the 15 shown at 96/100.
Safety is usually the first filter people apply and the hardest to research honestly, because most of what is written about it is anecdote. This uses a published composite rather than impressions.
A national score cannot tell you about a specific neighbourhood, and the gap between a country's safest and least safe city is often wider than the gap between countries. Treat it as a shortlist filter, not an answer.
