Frequently Asked Questions
How is the safety improvement trend calculated?
We compare each country's current 1-10 safety score with its historical snapshots and rank countries by the largest positive change. Because scores are recalculated daily from 40+ public sources, the trend captures real shifts in conflict, crime, health, governance and environment data.
What causes a country's safety score to improve?
Typical drivers are the end or de-escalation of conflict, falling crime rates, advisory downgrades by governments, and better health or governance indicators. Each pillar feeds the weighted score (conflict 30%, crime 25%, health 20%, governance 15%, environment 10%), so improvements in heavier pillars move the score most.
Does an improving trend mean a country is safe to visit?
Not necessarily — a country can improve quickly yet still have a low absolute score on the 1-10 scale. Always check the current score and any active government advisories, both updated daily, before planning a trip.
