Tokyo tops the Economist's Safe Cities Index for the third year in a row. Osaka is third. Singapore placed second, and Amsterdam and Sydney round out the top five. The only US city in the top-ten is Washington, DC, ranked seventh.

The index does not simply measure crime or personal endangerment, but "digital," "infrastructure," and "health" security as well. Osaka and Tokyo topped the list on health followed by Seoul. The article mentions that some indicators like available hospital beds might reflect cultural differences. The OECD data on hospitalization stays certainly shows those.

Only sixty cities across the globe were evaluated for these measures. Dallas, for instance, is included, but Boston and Miami are not.
