Mid score (6-8)
Small agricultural municipality near La Piedad. The town became nationally known in 2015 after a confrontation between police and cartel members resulted in 42 deaths — an event that sparked significant human rights scrutiny. The security situation has normalized but the town has no visitor infrastructure and no social economy for outsiders.
Lower score (below 6)
The 2015 confrontation that killed 42 people put Tanhuato on the national map for the wrong reasons. No visitor infrastructure, agricultural and locally oriented. La Piedad is the destination if you're in this zone.
