Oaxaca is the 21st most unsafe city in the country: INEGI - El Imparcial de Oaxaca

Perceptions of insecurity in the city of Oaxaca reveal a complex trend: although they have increased slightly compared to the previous quarter, they have decreased significantly compared to the same period last year, remaining above the national average. Citizens identify potholes and water service failures as priority problems, surpassing even crime in their daily concerns. Paradoxically, this negative perception does not necessarily reflect an increase in actual conflicts, as the region has recorded a notable reduction in the frequency of disputes. This disconnect between the sense of vulnerability and official violence statistics underscores the need to analyze multiple dimensions of the phenomenon, beyond purely criminal data. This article is relevant to open data because it exemplifies the importance of cross-referencing various information sources. Transparency in the results of the ENSU (National Survey of Urban Security) allows civil society and researchers to contrast subjectivity with objectivity, fostering an informed debate on evidence-based public policies using accessible and public data.
