How safe is Costa Maya Mexico?

Answer 1

Yes. In fact, Oaxaca is one of the safest places to be in Mexico, with a murder per capita of only 4.39 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants. This puts Oaxaca as a safer place than say, Riverside CA (4.2), Long Beach CA (5.3) and much larger cities like New York NY (6.3), San Antonio TX (6.6) or Dallas Tx (10.9).

Answer 2

Currently, the state of Quintana Roo, where Cancun and the Mayan Riviera are located, has a murder rate of 12 intentional homicides per 100,000 inhabitants. This places the region at the same level of safety as, say, Orlando (Florida) or Louisville (Kentucky) and safer than Houston (13.3 murders per 100,000), Miami (17.1) and Atlanta (20.2).

In short, you are at greater risk of being killed in Houston or Miami than in the entire Costa Maya, Mexico.
