The Cities With the Most Government Controlled CCTV Cameras per 1,000 People

For this report, we identified the cities worldwide with the largest number of government-linked CCTV cameras per 1,000 people and Washington, D.C. came on top.

We conducted manual research to find local reports of CCTV camera counts in the capitals and major cities of every country. We focused only on CCTV cameras controlled or accessible by the government and used the latest population counts to calculate the density of cameras per 1,000 residents.
