The Economist’s Intelligence Unit released its biennial report known as the Safe Cities Index, which “ranks 60 cities across 76 indicators covering digital, health, infrastructure, personal and environmental security.” The cities are then ranked in each category, as well as overall, on a scale of 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating safer cities.

The latest index determined the least safe city was Yangon, Myanmar, which ranked last in digital security, 58th in health, infrastructure security and personal security, as well as 54th in environmental security, The Hill reported.
