🤝 Trust

Welcome to Latinometrics. We bring you Latin American insights and trends through concise, thought-provoking data visualizations.

We all know some people who have been hurt before, and who now have walls up.

Turns out how much this is the case depends quite a bit on where you live. When looking at a survey on trust from our friends over at Latinobarómetro, for example, we see that Mexicans appear to be roughly four times more trusting than their Brazilian counterparts.

Specifically, respondents were asked to answer whether they agreed with the idea that “one can trust most people.”

Notably, no country in Latin America has a majority which agrees with this notion. To be fair to our beloved region though, only 10 nations in the world do have a majority, with Nordic countries and China on top, according to a different survey.

Let’s break it down and also look at this trust metric over time.
