The latest National Urban Public Safety Survey showed that 3 out of 10 Mexicans were victims of robbery or extortion.
Cancun, Fresnillo, Ecatepec de Morelos, Coatzacoalcos, Naucalpan de Juárez, and Tonalá are the six most dangerous cities to live in Mexico, according to the National Urban Public Safety Survey report.
The exercise, carried out by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi), showed that 66.6 percent of the 18-year-old population considers that living in their city is unsafe.
Of all the cities, the highest percentage of insecurity was presented by Fresnillo, in Zacatecas, where 96.2 percent of those interviewed considered that living there is a risk.
