Kakapo's Moscavide e Portela safety score is a weighted composite of personal-safety, transport, healthcare, and night-safety signals pulled from 50+ trusted sources — including national travel advisories (US State Department, UK FCDO, Canada, Australia, France, Germany), local crime indices, the WHO Global Burden of Disease for medical infrastructure, and air-quality APIs (IQAir, WAQI). Sub-scores are recalculated automatically as advisories and incident data change, so this page reflects the current state of travel safety for Moscavide e Portela, not a snapshot from months ago; last updated 2026-07-24.
The four sub-scores — personal-safety, transport, healthcare, and night-safety — are weighted to reflect what actually matters to travellers (not residents). Personal-safety carries the largest weight because pickpocketing, scams, and after-dark crime are the highest-frequency incidents reported by visitors. Transport reflects road-traffic injury rates plus taxi/transit reliability. Healthcare grades private-clinic access and English-speaking specialist availability, not the national system as a whole. Night-safety is calibrated separately because the gap between daytime and after-dark risk varies city-to-city — sometimes by 20+ points.
