Methodology

• Based on 2025 recorded-offence rates per 1,000 residents from the French Ministry of the Interior (SSMSI), across 14 offence categories weighted by severity.
• Central arrondissements with small residential populations and heavy non-resident daytime and tourist footfall (notably the 1st, 2nd and 8th) show higher rates for this reason: the rate is per resident, not per visitor, so this reflects reporting geography more than personal risk to visitors.
• Scores are relative to the spread across Paris's 20 arrondissements, not on the same absolute scale as London ward scores.
• This is annual, arrondissement-level official crime data, not street-level or live incident data.
• The score is indicative and based only on public recorded crime data, not a guarantee of personal safety.
