How is this ranking calculated?

Method and sources

Show

Road accidents with injuries investigated by the police inside the city in the last five published years (to August 2026), as a yearly average per 1,000 residents. Accidents are recorded where they happen, not where people live, so cities with main roads, business parks and shopping centres look higher.
