Coatzacoalcos and Xalapa have the highest perception of insecurity in the state: INEGI - Plumas Libres

Perceptions of insecurity in Coatzacoalcos remain alarmingly high, far exceeding the national average and placing the city among the most unsafe in the country. This situation underscores the urgent need to improve public safety in the area, as the slight reduction recorded was not statistically significant, confirming that residents’ conditions have not demonstrably improved. On the other hand, Veracruz Port shows a positive trend, with a significant annual decline in the sense of insecurity, progressively approaching the national average. In contrast, although Xalapa’s figures are below the national standard, it lacks statistically relevant variations that would indicate a clear or consistent improvement in the security perceived by its residents over time. This report is relevant to the field of open data because it demonstrates how the availability and analysis of official surveys enable the identification of regional and gender-based disparities in security. By making these data accessible, it facilitates accountability and the design of evidence-based public policies, allowing civil society and governments to monitor trends and evaluate the effectiveness of citizen security interventions in real time.
