Petty Crime in Uruguay
The petty crime indicator assesses everyday exposure to offences such as pickpocketing, scams, robbery, burglary, car theft and similar property crimes. For Uruguay, the raw value is 44 risk points. This results in a Nomadino score of 56/100 and rank 115 of 229.
What the Raw Value Measures
The raw value is a risk value from 0 to 100. It does not measure severe violence alone and it does not replace city- or neighbourhood-level checks. A low value means typical everyday offences carry less weight in international comparison; a high value indicates more noticeable exposure to theft, scams, robbery or burglary.
Nomadino combines everyday-safety perception data with official crime and victimisation sources as well as structural security indicators. Police-recorded statistics are used carefully because reporting rates, recording practices and offence definitions differ internationally.
Context for Daily Life and Stays
Everyday exposure is in the middle range. Relocation decisions should check the specific city, neighbourhood, commute, nightlife context and local policing separately.
For travellers, expats and digital nomads, the indicator is mainly practical: it helps assess how much caution is needed with phones, wallets, housing, cars, cash, nightlife districts and tourist areas. Cities and regions within one country can differ substantially.
