Piedras Negras ranks third nationally in public safety perception according to the latest INEGI survey, with only 20% of residents feeling insecure. This standing highlights the community’s strong confidence in local governance and the effectiveness of law enforcement, compared to other major urban centers across Mexico. The city also leads as the safest border municipality, maintaining this distinction for eight consecutive years. This consistent performance underscores the success of coordinated security strategies involving federal, state, and municipal authorities, fostering a secure environment for families despite the challenges typically associated with border regions. This data is vital for open data initiatives, as it demonstrates how transparent, accessible government statistics enable communities to benchmark performance and hold officials accountable. By making such survey results publicly available, institutions empower citizens to evaluate policy outcomes and drive continuous improvement in public safety and civic trust.
