Tlalpan reduces perception of insecurity by 13.7 points in a year, INEGI reports

The National Survey on Urban Public Safety reveals that Tlalpan has experienced the largest annual decline in perceived insecurity among the boroughs of Mexico City. This significant drop places the borough below the national average, highlighting a notable improvement in residents’ sense of security compared to the previous period. The reduction is attributed to intergovernmental coordination that strengthened police presence and established prevention mechanisms through daily security task forces. These joint efforts across the three levels of government have not only increased territorial surveillance but also enabled analysis of criminal incidence to develop more effective peace-building strategies, thereby consolidating a safer environment for citizens. This case is relevant to the field of open data because it illustrates how the regular publication of official statistical indicators allows for real-time assessment of the actual impact of public policies. By making these data accessible, transparency is fostered, enabling civil society to compare the performance of different boroughs, promoting accountability and evidence-based decision-making grounded in tangible indicators of quality of life in urban settings.
