Security feeling in public spaces (i78)

Definition: the security feeling in public spaces is the share of respondents of the European Social Survey (ESS) that answered "very safe" or "safe" to the following question: “How safe do you – or would you - feel walking alone in this area after dark?”. This question was covered in each of the ten biannual ESS surveys. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the survey for 2020 was postponed to 2021. The FPB calculates the indicator using the ESS data. Since these data are based on a survey, a margin of uncertainty has to be taken into account. The confidence intervals for these data are available on request.
