Explanation
Safety scoring weighs violent-crime context, neighborhood variation, and institutional response. Major capitals tend to have visible opportunistic risk patterns.
Read this module with the main city profile because single-topic pages can miss tradeoffs. A city with a high energy score can still have housing pressure, and a city with strong opportunity can still carry health exposure risk.
