Explanation
Safety scoring recognizes Tokyo's combination of low violent-crime context, strong institutional response, and consistent resident perception across the metro.
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.
