Northern Mexico Violent Crime Risk 

Crime rapidly changes from states, cities, neighborhoods, and streets, particularly in Mexico, so it is crucial to understand the risks. Pinkerton Crime Index (PCI) reflects these changes in a condensed format that updates data monthly. To help businesses understand their risks and make informed decisions for business, operations, and travel we put together these crime risk snapshots at the state level by crime type — violent crime, property crime, and then total crime — for each of Mexico's 32 states according to the Pinkerton Crime Index, our crime data platform powered by AI and frontier data science. The first snapshot highlights the crime risk scores for violent crimes, such as assault, murder, robbery, in Northern Mexico relative to the country's national average. See how the rich and diverse coastal region of Nayarit, Northern Mexico’s safest state, compares to the other 11 states.

With a population of 1.8 million, Durango has Mexico's second-lowest population density, after Baja California Sur. These two states rank the highest in property crime risk in Northern Mexico.

The lower the score, the lower the crime risk.
