I’ve vacationed in Mexico almost two dozen times. I’m going back down there in a few weeks as it is one of the few places that is open unimpeded to American travelers. Whenever I go, everyone asks me “is it safe?”

Useful Site to Research Crime Statistics for Mexico
The post is from the Two Expats Mexico website. I find the site exceptionally useful for information about traveling or living in Mexico from a couple of Americans who moved there. They also put out additional content on Patreon.
I am one of their Patreon supporters and I’d encourage you to check them out.
