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.

How current is this comparison?

Baseline scores are reviewed at least every 90 days. Run a personalized assessment for either city to add live data (current weather, today's advisories, recent news, disaster alerts) on top of the baseline.

Methodology & disclaimer

This comparison uses our 9-category weighted scoring — crime, health, advisory, political, disaster, transport, environmental, digital security, and money safety — against the same per-category baselines we publish on each city page. The interactive calculator adds three trip-specific categories (accommodation, arrival time, personal modifier) for a 12-category model when you submit your own trip details. Category baselines come 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 at assessment time. The score is an estimate — not a substitute for your country's official travel advisory.
