3 Safe Places to Live and Retire in Mexico
Based on current safety indexes, quality of life data, and expat reports for 2024–2025, these are the top safest places to live in Mexico for raising a family or retirement.
Merida, Yucatan
Consistently ranked the safest city in Mexico, often compared to European or Canadian safety levels. It's the cultural hub of the Yucatán Peninsula.
Queretaro, Queretaro
Querétaro is clean, organized, and prosperous. It serves as a major hub for aerospace and manufacturing, attracting a middle-to-upper-class demographic.
