Crece percepción de inseguridad en Cancún y Chetumal, según el INEGI - Noticaribe

The INEGI’s recent survey highlights a significant rise in the public’s perception of insecurity in major Mexican cities like Cancún and Chetumal during early 2025. This growing fear has profoundly altered daily life, prompting nearly half of the adult population to modify their habits regarding the carrying of valuables and restricting the independence of children. Such behavioral shifts indicate that safety concerns are no longer abstract metrics but tangible factors reshaping community routines and mobility, signaling a deteriorating social climate despite national averages. Public trust in local authorities remains low, with citizens attributing greater effectiveness to federal military forces rather than municipal police or state security agencies. This discrepancy underscores a critical governance challenge: while citizens feel unsafe, their confidence in the institutions tasked with ensuring public order is minimal. The data suggests that local security strategies are failing to resonate with the populace, creating a perception gap where federal entities are viewed as more competent than the primary local responders responsible for community safety. This report is vital to the open data movement as it demonstrates how granular, transparent government statistics can reveal systemic vulnerabilities and shift public discourse. By making these perceptions and operational effectiveness ratings accessible, open data empowers citizens to hold local governments accountable for service delivery and security outcomes. It transforms raw survey data into a tool for civic engagement, highlighting where resources are needed most and exposing the disconnect between public sentiment and institutional performance.
