Capital of mountain biking in Brazil, Araxá is named as the safest city in Minas Gerais - MTB WC Araxá

Capital of mountain biking in Brazil, Araxá is named as the safest city in Minas Gerais

The survey took into account Brazilian cities with more than 100 thousand inhabitants, with the national capital of mountain biking as a highlight in the Top 10 in the country

In an exclusive MySide yearbook, in which data was collected from the Mortality Monitoring Panel of the Health and Environmental Surveillance Secretariat (SVSA) and the IBGE Census to provide a reliable analysis of the cities that stand out in terms of safety, Araxá stands out stood out in the state of Minas Gerais as the safest city among municipalities with more than 100 thousand inhabitants. And, on a broader scale, the highlight also remains, with a ranking in the Top 10 nationally, being the ninth city in the ranking among the safest in the country.

This fact gains even more importance, since between the months of March and April 2025, the city will once again become the world capital of mountain biking, hosting three major events in sequence: the opening of the 2025 International MTB Cup , between March 28th and 30th, and two first stages of the next season of the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series, with the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup in the Short Track (XCC) and Olympic Cross Country (XCO) modalities, on the 3rd on April 6th (first stage) and April 10th to 13th (second stage).

The rate recorded in Araxá is 3.6 homicides per 100 thousand inhabitants. This gives the municipality great prominence in the state of Minas Gerais, just ahead of Varginha and Muriaé, with rates of 5.7 and 7.6, respectively, on the list of safest cities. Minas Gerais, in fact, ranks fifth among the safest states in Brazil – with a rate of 19.9 violent deaths per 100,000 inhabitants.

According to the yearbook created by MySide, a company specialized in technology and services in the real estate sector: “The main indicator used to classify cities was the number of murders per 100 thousand inhabitants. This indicator is widely recognized as a solid and universal measure of public safety. International organizations, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), use this rate in their reports, considering it essential for regional and temporal comparisons. The use of this indicator allows the absolute numbers of homicides to be adjusted according to the size of the population, facilitating comparative analyzes and the formulation of effective public policies”.
