In September 2024, the National Urban Public Security Survey (ENSU) of the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) revealed that the perception of insecurity in the state of Jalisco decreased to 52%, marking the lowest point in this area during the administration. This figure represents a significant decrease, as in June 2018 the percentage was 68.4%.
The ENSU highlighted that five of the six municipalities evaluated in Jalisco have experienced reductions in their indicators of perception of insecurity, with decreases greater than 10 percentage points in places like Zapopan. In the last six years, Jalisco has reduced its perception of insecurity by 16.5 percentage points, falling from 74.2% in March 2019 to 57.7% in September 2024.
The most recent data from the ENSU shows that the perception of insecurity in Jalisco during the third quarter of 2024 is the lowest not only of the administration but since these studies began with this methodology by INEGI. The sample focuses on six key municipalities in the state: Guadalajara, Zapopan, Tlaquepaque, Tonalá, Tlajomulco, and Puerto Vallarta.
In comparison with the national average of 58.6%, the perception of insecurity in Jalisco is below this average. Additionally, the ENSU emphasizes the decrease in the perception of thefts and assaults by 16.4 points, suggesting an improvement in the perception of safety in the state.
