Right now I believe it is some cities in Michoacan, my family who lives there has warned me not to even head out to Michoacan to visit them because it is getting bad. Sinaloa cities are very safe and I have been there plenty of times, I have never felt that I was in danger, the great thing about Sinaloa is that their cartels do not mess with innocent people.
The relative risk in various Mexican towns has probably changed in the past three years, so if anyone has up do date information, this thread continues to be more than relevant.
Meanwhile, how does one measure or evaluate "danger" in a Mexican city? Access to reliable data that is not cooked by local authorities? Reliance on one anecdotal newspaper report of crime in or near a certain city? Existence of a dangerous neighborhood in a city, that everyone knows better than to go to? Absence of marco-terrrorists yesterday, which is not an indicator of whether they are there today?
