Should I trust a single composite score?
No. Always look at the category breakdown. Two cities can have the same composite but very different category profiles — one driven by petty crime, the other by natural disaster risk. The composite is useful as a shortlist filter; the category scores are useful as a planning tool. See our guide to travel risk scores for more.

Methodology & disclaimer
This comparison uses our 12-category weighted scoring with category baselines from a mix of curated editorial signals (publicly available crime indices, WHO health-system data, current US State Department advisories, well-documented political and transport patterns) and live data feeds when you run a real assessment. The score is an estimate — not a substitute for your country's official travel advisory.
