Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico – According to the latest National Survey of Urban Public Security (ENSU) by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), published on April 19, 2022, Puerto Vallarta is considered the safest tourist destination in all of Mexico, and the safest city in the State of Jalisco.
To determine the public’s perception of security in cities throughout Mexico, every year during the first two weeks of March, June, September and December, the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) conducts a National Urban Public Security Survey among the population over 18 years of age who reside in the 75 cities considered to be of interest in the national territory.
In this survey, Puerto Vallarta remains the tourist center that enjoys the highest perception of security, placing it ahead of Los Cabos, Mazatlán, Acapulco and Cancún, respectively. In the previous survey, published in January, our municipality ranked second in this category.
Likewise, as in the previous survey, this municipality is considered by those surveyed as one of the safest at the state level, with a wide margin over Zapopan, which is considered the second city place in Jalisco. Guadalajara placed as the sixth most insecure city on the national level.
In this quarter, various cities presented a significant change with respect to the previous survey, which put Vallarta in eighth place among the 75 cities that participated in this exercise. In fact, the perception of insecurity in Puerto Vallarta is just 26.4%, slightly lower than that of the last survey. This helped Puerto Vallarta rank as the eighth safest city in all of Mexico.
Given these good results, the municipal government of Mayor Luis Alberto Michel Rodríguez reiterates its commitment to redouble efforts in terms of security and social welfare, as well as to continue working as a team with the different social sectors of the city to achieve better results for the benefit of the people.
