In this edition, 16 cities and demarcations did have statistically significant changes compared to December 2021, 7 had reductions and 9 increased.

The survey also considered the situation around hospital services as one of the most important issues in his city. In March 2022, 35.2% of people aged 18 and over residing in cities of interest identified overcrowded or poorly serviced hospitals as one of the most important problems in cities.
Inegi specified that the design of the National Urban Public Security Survey, which is published quarterly, includes the following relevant concepts:
•Feeling insecure due to fear of crime (perception)
*•Social expectation about the trend of crime (perception), attesting to criminal or antisocial behavior (knowledge)
• Changing routines for fear of being a victim of crime (experiences),
• Perception of the performance of the municipal, state, guardia preventive police
National, Army and Navy as public security authorities (perception),
