The city of Los Mochis, in Sinaloa, has established itself as a national benchmark in perceived security, ranking fourth among cities with the lowest sense of insecurity among its residents in all of Mexico.
This is revealed in the recent Results Report 42/25 of the National Urban Public Security Survey (ENSU), released by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI).
This achievement, which underscores exceptionally high citizen confidence, is reflected in striking figures: the perception of insecurity in Los Mochis fell from 30% in June 2025 to 19.2% in September of the same year.
This reduction represents a drastic relative percentage change of 36.00%, a decrease of more than a third in just one quarter.
The security landscape in Sinaloa is reinforced by the results of Mazatlán, a city that also appears among the 10 cities with a significant reduction in this indicator.
Governor Rubén Rocha Moya highlighted this progress: “If you look at what’s coming out today in the survey called ENSU, from INEGI, you’ll see that the perception of insecurity in Mazatlán has dropped by 18 percent,” he stated.
According to the INEGI report, Mazatlán reached its best quarterly level to date, registering an absolute variation of -11.7% and a relative percentage change of -18.1%.
Both results indicate sustained progress in social sentiment in Sinaloa, marking a positive contrast to the stability observed in the national average.
The outstanding position of Los Mochis and the rebound in Mazatlán position the state as an example of improvement in the perception of urban public safety.
