What it means
For international places, stability gives extra context about whether a country or region may carry broader risk.
How we calculate it
We use country and regional stability measures as background context, especially when city level safety records are thin.
Sources and freshness
World Bank, UN records, INFORM, and public country risk records.
Source periods vary by place. City pages show dated source context for the applicable measure when it is available.
Limitations
Country and regional stability measures do not describe every city, neighborhood, or day to day experience within that area.
