According to Numbeo, regarding the crime and safety index, Toulouse is in 12th place among cities in Western Europe where the crime index is the highest (and therefore the safety the lowest). A result that unfortunately will not surprise many Toulouse residents as the insecurity seems more and more palpable in the four corners of the city… Well, we must also admit that the site is based on the opinions of Internet users and is therefore not the most reliable, but it nevertheless reveals a feeling of insecurity that is very present in Toulouse and in France.

The Numbeo site explains how it talks about it to these indices: “This section is based on surveys of visitors to this website. The questions for these surveys are similar to many scientific and government surveys. Each survey entry is saved as the number in the interval [-2, 2], with -2 having a very negative meaning and 2 having a very positive meaning. We filter surveys to eliminate potential spam, such as people who enter a large amount of data that differs from the median value. To present the result of the survey, we use the scale [0, 100] for values because it is easier for users to read.
To generate a current index (which is always updated), we use data that is 36 months old. We only include cities for which there are at least a number of contributors. Our semi-annual index is redone twice a year by bringing the current index into this historical view. The Crime Index is an estimate of the overall level of crime in a given city or country.
We consider crime levels below 20 as very low, crime levels between 20 and 40 as low, crime levels between 40 and 60 as moderate, crime levels between 60 and 80 as high and finally crime levels over 80 very high. The Security Index is, on the contrary, the opposite of the Crime Index. If the city has a high safety index, it is considered very safe. »
