Contrary to the country, perception of safety declines in Hermosillo and Nogales

The article highlights the paradox between the marginal improvement in the national perception of safety and the significant deterioration in Sonora, particularly in Hermosillo and Nogales. While the country records its lowest levels of perceived insecurity in over a decade, these cities in Sonora reach their highest annual peaks, revealing a geographic disconnect between the effectiveness of federal public safety policies and local realities. The implications go beyond mere statistics, showing how insecurity profoundly alters citizens’ daily habits. From fear of using ATMs to changes in children’s routines and nighttime mobility, the perception of vulnerability forces residents to restrict their freedom. This behavior reflects a crisis of confidence in institutions and has a direct impact on quality of life and the social dynamics of the most affected urban areas. The relevance of this text for open data lies in the need to democratize and critically analyze these citizen perception metrics. Data such as those from the ENSU (National Survey on the Perception of Public Security and Justice) and Envipe (National Survey of Perceptions of Public Security and Justice) are not just official figures, but essential tools for auditing government effectiveness and highlighting territorial inequalities. Transparency in the disaggregation of these data enables civil society to identify trends, demand accountability, and promote evidence-based local solutions, preventing national narratives from overshadowing the specific urgencies of vulnerable regions.
