Safety as a fundamental pillar
Safety is one of the fundamental pillars of quality of life. In an international context marked by instability and increased criminality in many parts of the world, Andorra is a clear and proven exception.
According to the latest data from Numbeo’s Crime and Safety Index 2026, the Principality ranks as the lowest crime country in Europe and the second safest in the world in terms of perception of safety and reported crime.
This positioning is not accidental. It responds to a solid social, institutional and economic model that makes Andorra one of the most attractive destinations to live, invest or establish a business in a safe and stable environment.
In this article we analyze the data, its significance and why security in Andorra is a decisive factor for residents, investors and international companies.
Andorra leads security in Europe
Numbeo is one of the most widely used international platforms for analyzing and comparing quality of life, safety and crime indicators globally. Each year it publishes the Crime Index and Safety Index from data reported by residents and users around the world.
In the Crime and Security Index 2026, Andorra has a very low crime rate, located approximately between 15 and 18 points, and a very high security index, which moves in a range close to 82-85 points. These values place the Principality in the first position in Europe in terms of lower crime and in the second position worldwide in terms of perceived security.
Crime in Andorra
The analysis of crime in Andorra shows a reality far removed from the European average. The data reflect an extremely low incidence of violent crime, a minimal risk of robbery, assault or vandalism, and a high level of trust in law enforcement.
In addition, the perception of security is very high both during the day and at night, which reinforces the feeling of tranquility in daily life. Living safely in Andorra is not a promise, but a reality backed by objective data.
Andorra vs. Europe
To better understand Andorra’s leadership in security, it is useful to compare it with other European benchmark countries.
Andorra has a crime rate close to 15 and a security index around 85. Spain scores approximately 35 points for crime and 65 for security. Italy reaches figures close to 45 and 55 respectively, while France is around 50 points in both crime and perception of security.
| Country | Crime Rate (2026) | Safety Index (2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Andorra | ≈ 15 | ≈ 85 |
| Spain | ≈ 35 | ≈ 65 |
| France | ≈ 50 | ≈ 50 |
| Italy | ≈ 45 | ≈ 55 |
The difference is significant. Andorra not only registers less crime, but also offers a feeling of security clearly superior to that of the main European countries.
The keys to security in Andorra
One of the determining factors is the size of the country, which favors greater social cohesion, more efficient institutional control and a more direct relationship between citizens and authorities.
In addition to this, we have a modern, close and efficient police system, with a high capacity for prevention and response. Economic and social stability also plays a fundamental role, as it reduces the risk factors associated with crime.
Finally, there is a social culture based on respect, civility and coexistence, which naturally reinforces the environment of citizen security.
