The number one question anyone living in Mexico hears from family and friends is, “Is it safe there?” It’s rarely about if we enjoy living here or if we would recommend it, but rather about the degree of safety that we feel in day-to-day life.

Why is that? Obviously, Mexico has its issues with violence. But so do many countries. And yet people seem to extrapolate what they read or hear about Mexico across the entire country, regardless of where one lives.

It is with that in mind that Mexico News Daily recently launched a new survey of expats (or immigrants) nationwide to find out what the safety situation is really like in Mexico — from their own lived experiences. Not from the headlines, not from the social media posts, but from the people actually living in the country.

The results of our first survey are certain to surprise you and are highly recommended reading for your friends and family back home. Check out today’s “Confidently Wrong” podcast, where Travis and George walk through the results.
