Lahore is Safer Than London, New York & Melbourne on the World Crime Index
The security situation has seen a marked improvement in Lahore in recent years, which is the reason why its ranking has improved significantly on the latest report of the World Crime Index. Punjab’s capital now ranks at 201st spot, whereas the previous report at the start of 2019 saw it at the 174th position among a total of 328 cities across the world. Whereas, Islamabad has been labeled as the safest city in Pakistan.
Let’s have a look at the ranking scores of three major Pakistani countries on the list:
| Rank | City | Crime Index | Safety Index |
|---|---|---|---|
| 244 | Islamabad | 30.47 | 69.53 |
| 201 | Lahore | 38.43 | 61.57 |

The 10 safest cities are listed below:
Lahore has been ranked as safer than Las Vegas, San Francisco, London, Washington DC, Istanbul, New York, Melbourne and many more big cities.
Lahore’s massive improvement in terms of crime can be gauged from the following year-wise rankings comparison:
