Best Answer

The best way to measure how safe or dangerous a city or region is, is the murder rate, or intentional homicides per 100,000 people. Mexico City had a homicide rate of 8.4 murders per 100,000 in 2013.

Surprisingly, this puts Mexico City as safe as San Francisco, CA and much safer than say, Boston (9.0), Milwaukee (15.2) or Detroit (54.6 murders per 100,000).

On the other hand, less serious crimes such as robbery, motor vehicle theft and burglary are much more common and have a higher incidence than those found in the previous examples, due mainly to the huge population found in Mexico City (21.16 million).

Does Mexico city have one of the biggest crime rates in the world?

Not specially. From lubbockonline.com:An average of 182 violent crimes and 2.7 homicides are reported each day in Mexico City. That compares with 215 violent crimes and 2.1 homicides a day in New York this year. But because so few crimes are reported in Mexico, the actual rate is believed to be much higher.http://www.lubbockonline.com/news/121597/LA0654.htmlHow much higher?
