[MCU/Doctor Who] Is it worse to be a civilian in the MCU or Doctor Who version of Earth?

I tihnk the best way to settle this is to compare disasters and their severity.

**The MCU**  
Most of the events in the MCU are limited in scope.  The Battle of New York, the events surrounding the defeat of Ultron, the fall of the Helicarriers, the partial destruction of Greenwich during the Alignment...these all happen in specific cities and are relatively rare occurrences.  Even Hulk rampages are confined and infrequent (although devastating).  

That more or less sets the pattern for the MCU.  The things that happen tend to be geographically dispersed, which means their impact is also spread out and, consequently, the MCU Earth is a relatively safe place.

**Doctor Who**  
...well, safe relative to the Earth that The Doctor protects.  Working from 2005 onwards, we find that London is the most dangerous place to live on the planet.  Cardiff is also similarly dangerous, although the amount of danger to Cardiff actually tails off after Torchwood is shut down.  That said, the danger to the rest of the world *rises* at that point.  There are a number of global events, including a succesful invasion by the Daleks and the theft of Earth, that caused mass civilian casualties.  

Even though some of the global events in Doctor Who - like when the Master took over and enslaved the population with the help of the Toclafane - were literally undone and technically never happened, when things kick off in this universe, they tend to do so on a massive scale.

On balance, it's a dodgier proposition to live on the Doctor Who Earth.  The MCU Earth looks like it might be about to rival those stakes, though.
