In 2024, Zaozhuang stands out with remarkably stable public sentiment on crime, with virtually no reported worries or perceived increase. This suggests a peaceful living environment with residents feeling secure both day and night.
Despite the peaceful environment in terms of crime, Zaozhuang faces significant air quality challenges. The city's high PM2.5 and PM10 levels indicate severe pollution, influenced largely by industrial activities and traffic.
With air quality rated very poor, there is an urgent need for measures to minimize air pollution for better public health outcomes.
