The most recent results of the National Urban Public Security Survey (ENSU), conducted by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), revealed the perception of insecurity in major cities, including the municipalities of Mexico City.
The results of this survey revealed that the municipalities of Benito Juárez, Cuajimalpa, and Coyoacán remain the three municipalities with the highest perception of security in the capital, despite slight changes in their indicators.
According to the July 2025 study, the Benito Juárez municipality, headed by Luis Mendoza, a member of the National Action Party (PAN), once again consolidated its position as the municipality where the population feels safest.
It went from registering 18.9 percent in June 2024 to reaching 22 percent in June of this year. Although there was an increase of just over three percentage points, citizen perception remains the most favorable in the entire capital.
In second place is Cuajimalpa, also governed by a PAN representative, Carlos Orvañanos, who achieved a significant reduction in the perception of insecurity.
According to the quarterly comparison, the figure fell 12.9 percentage points: from 49.8 to 36.9 percent in June 2025.
This decrease reflects the efforts implemented by local authorities in crime prevention and strengthening public safety.
Coyoacán Remains in Third Place
Meanwhile, the Coyoacán mayor’s office, headed by PAN member José Giovani Gutiérrez Aguilar, ranked third in this ranking with a level of perceived insecurity of 42.5 percent.
This result represents a slight increase of nearly two points compared to the 40.6 percent recorded last April. However, it remains one of the districts where citizens report feeling safest.
The results of the ENSU (National Survey of Public Safety) provide insight into the evolving perception of insecurity among the population of Mexico City. This data often differs from actual crime figures, but reflects citizens’ perceptions of their environment.
The three municipalities, all governed by PAN politicians, have maintained local strategies focused on improving surveillance, modernizing video surveillance systems, and encouraging citizen reporting, factors that, according to analysts, contribute to a more positive perception of public safety.
The ENSU, published quarterly, serves as a key tool for evaluating and adjusting security policies by clearly showing how people perceive their surroundings and which areas are progressing or regressing in this regard.
