This gradual rise in crime may reflect broader societal factors, including increased tourism and industrial activity in León, which attract diverse populations and, potentially, criminal elements. Despite this rise, León remains relatively safe compared to larger urban centers in Spain, where crime rates tend to be higher due to greater population density and tourism influx.

Ongoing monitoring and community engagement remain crucial for maintaining public safety. Source: Statistical Portal of Criminality, Spanish Ministry of Interior.
