What these numbers represent
GCI scores and planning amounts are modelled or editorial indicators, not measured city statistics or official estimates. Country assumptions are not local observations. Institutional references explain context; they do not supply these scores.
Paris's legacy safety module indicator is 78/100. The separate quality-of-life safety composite is 76/100, calculated from low-crime (32%), personal safety (30%), night safety (20%) and road safety (18%) model components. The personal-safety component is 78/100. These are different indicators, not conflicting observations of one statistic. None measures an individual's risk or replaces current local safety guidance.
Source-backed temperature context is available in the NASA POWER climate reference. It is gridded reanalysis, not a weather-station measurement, and does not validate GCI's other scores.
Content and provenance reviewed 2026-10-17; this is not a new observation date. For GCI models, data year means model edition, not a measurement period. Source-backed datasets state their own periods. Read the data categories and limitations.

Interpretation
The safety module uses a legacy editorial seed indicator. Its score is not calculated from a retrieved local measurement series. Related institutional links explain context, not the numeric result. Across the indexed cities the safety average is 70/100, so Paris is 8 points above the median. These comparisons use GCI modelled/editorial scores, not official measurements. Content reviewed 2026-10-17; model edition 2025, not an observation year.
