City Murder Rates
 
Thunder Bay is at 1 murder for 2015. I assume that it hasn't changed.

So, as of 2 hours and change it is no longer Canada's murder capital and is one of the safest cities in Canada.

Québec City has come in at 2. Apparently I missed a murder in St. Raymond (some 40-50 minutes from Québec City) that took place in May (the body was found then) and resulted in charges in August.

Lévis again ends the year without a murder.

That gives us a rate of 0.2 per 100,000 for the Greater Québec City area.

Yes.

2015 ended the year with 298 homicides, but will likely be revised down by several counts when non-criminal homicides are filtered out. The official count is usually out within a week of New Years.

birmingham ends the year with 92...

... and starts out the new year with 1

tablemtn Jan 1, 2016 9:34 PM

The nation of El Salvador had an abysmal year in terms of crime, with police reporting 6,646 murders through December 30. The 31st had at least three more murders.

For its population of 6.38 million, that's a rate of 104.2, which is probably going to be the highest in the world of any nation that actually collects statistics and isn't at war.

January 1st has already seen at least 15 violent deaths that have been reported, though seven of those appear to be gang-members killed by police.

Portland ended with 28 murders and 31 homicides overall; Vancouver with 15 murders.

Their both Safe, 2.3 Per 100,000 is not that high really (Much better than the American Averages) & some cities in Canada have been this high too! Like ex: Calgary, Edmonton, Surrey, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Regina etc.
But yes you are right by virtue of simply being in
Canada Thunder Bay is safer overall.

2014 Maryland had 21 more murders in all then Baltimore finished the year with in 2015.

Baltimore has always been terrible. But in 2015 it hit a new low:

Quote:

BALTIMORE -- Baltimore's murder rate is the highest per capita in the city's history -- and the past few days have been bloody, reports CBS Baltimore.

Baltimore's 342nd murder was a stabbing on the east side. Number 341 was a shooting; a man was shot over and over again on the west side.

Well Columbus did not end the year well...with 15 homicides in December(the most for any month of the year) including 9 murders in the last 8 days of the year. I guess Tocin007 was closer to the truth than I thought. :( 99 homicides for 2015, up from 89 last year. population 2014 estimate at 835,957. 11.84 per 100,000 rate.

Inner suburb of Whitehall even worse-9 homicides for a town of 18,062 in 2010.

I was, but I'm sorry before for rubbing it in though, sorry to hear that, just glad you weren't one of the victims (hopefully no one close to you was either). But for a U.S. City its not that bad I guess, (Their are a number of places worse than Columbus in the U.S. in 2015, Baltimore, D.C. Philly, Chicago, Atlanta, St. Louis, New Orleans, Memphis, Detroit, Miami etc.) So you where on to something. For Us however in Calgary/ Canada Population 1.25 Million we had 33 Murder's this year (Which was a bad year for us). Calgary Police said it was the busiest year we've had in a Decade! -> http://www.calgarysun.com/2015/12/29...lmost-a-decade

Also here's a Photo of the 505 Homicides our city has had in the past
25 years! ->

https://postmediacalgaryherald2.file...y=55&strip=all

& Here's the Article By the Herald! -> http://calgaryherald.com/news/crime/...-about-calgary

The Metro Had 1 in Airdrie (Pop. 61,000) so 34 for the Calgary Region (Almost 1.6 Million).

Pending

For Travis County (Austin) - it should be noted that this creek saw heavy flooding in May and then again in October of last year.

Badly decomposed body found in south Austin - 1/3

And another one for Travis County. This one and the one above are located within the county where Austin is, but they're outside of the city limits. This one looks like a hit and run, but they were still investigating.

Pedestrian killed in Eastern Travis County hit-and-run - 1/5

And another suspected hit and run, this one in Northwest Austin.

Woman struck, killed in northwest Austin identified - 1/8

Flyers2001 Jan 4, 2016 2:36 PM

Philly did end the year with an increase, but I read it was the first time Philly went three consecutive years of Murders being under 300 in 50+ years. I guess that's a good thing, but with a new Mayor and new Police Commissioner, Lets hope that number goes back down.

The bad thing from the article I read was that 48% have gone unsolved.

Wow, that's really bad. In Vienna (pop. 1.8M) alls murders have been solved since 2009. Does the Philly PD need more personnel? Or is the sheer number of homicides the problem?

Lol I just remembered that Ottawa (Which is still in Canada).
Is better than both Calgary & Austin (& the Municipality of Ottawa is bigger
than Austin too with a Simular Black Population within the city limits as well).
The City of Ottawa has since estimated it had a population of 951,727 in 2014
(Likely closer to 1 Million by now).

Austin's Black Population is shrinking between 1990-2010 from 12.4% Porportion to only 8.1%
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin...s#Demographics

Ottawa's on the other Hand is growing instead from: 4.9% (In 2006) to 5.7% (In 2011).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Ottawa

By now it is likely almost the same.

"Residents look to revive Austin's shrinking black community"

So Austin's Black Community is shrinking 0.2% Proportion Per Year,
& Ottawa's is growing. 0.2% Per Year.

7 Murder's for Ottawa this year, Half that of the Canadian Average & way lower than any American City that size.

2015 homicides

1. Yusuf Ibrahim, 27, was shot inside a home on Forestglade Crescent at about 9:30 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 6. A source told CBC News he was shot multiple times in the back and was found on a couch. Months later, police offered a $50,000 reward for information. More than four months after the shooting, on June 19, 23-year-old Abdullahi Osman and Mohamed Abdi Abdullahi, 32, were arrested and charged with first-degree murder. They are scheduled to appear in court in January 2016.

2. Connor Stevenson, 18, was stabbed to death in the stairwell of an apartment building at 2020 Jasmine Cres. on the evening of Tuesday, April 14. Police initially said they were looking for two people and released images of them. David Dubois, 19, was arrested just more than a week after the stabbing and was charged with second-degree murder. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for June 2016.

3. Sharif Said, 21, was shot multiple times and found by a passerby in the area of Tremblay and Belfast roads at about 6 a.m. on Sunday, May 3. He later died in hospital. A few days later police arrested Khalid Mohammad, 26, and Abdulaziz Abdullah, 28. Mohammad was charged with second-degree murder and Abdullah was charged with being an accessory after the fact. They are next scheduled to appear in court in February 2016.

4. Michael McRae, 51, was stabbed multiple times at about 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 7, in an apartment at 6632 Notre-Dame St. He was taken to hospital by paramedics where he was later pronounced dead. His father, 70-year-old John McRae, was arrested at the scene and charged with second-degree murder. His next court appearance is scheduled for October 2016.

5. Gail Fawcett, 54, was stabbed to death in front of the home she shared with Gino Langevin at 209 Anna Ave. on Tuesday, July 21. Langevin, 45, was arrested at the scene and charged with first-degree murder. He was scheduled to appear in court earlier this month.

6. Issaiah Clachar, 17, was stabbed to death in the 2000-block of Jasmine Crescent in the early morning hours of Sunday, Sept. 20. Keanu Croteau, 18, and Mohamad Hamade, 25, were both arrested the same day and charged with second-degree murder and attempted murder, respectively. They were scheduled to appear in court earlier this month.

7. Dady Junior Jean, 41, was shot to death outside his apartment in the 300-block of Lacasse Avenue at about 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 14. Just less than two weeks later, police arrested and charged three people with first-degree murder: 23-year-old Johnnie Locey-Derouchie, 20-year-old Dominique Chrétien and 40-year-old Candy Locey. They were scheduled to appear in court earlier this month.

Their Metro's are near the same size too, so Ottawa overall is way way safer Even Austin as safe as it is is dangerous compared to Ottawa.

Austin–Round Rock metropolitan area (1,943,299 as of July 1, 2014.)

So if your showing OT at 1,318,100 metro(Ottawa-Gatineau) then economic region for OT-Gat is 1,320,293 + 383,182 . The bi-provincialalty (?) of Ottawa-Gatineau is causing all kinds of fucky when looking at these numbers,since you left out Gatineau centred Outaouis, on the quebec side

So let me fix that for ya Albertans *smirk*

OG - 1,318,100 | 1,703,475 (difference: 385,375 As of July 1st 2014)

So Ottawa's Region is fast approaching 1.8 Million not that much smaller than Austin!

I don't track some big cities like Milwaukee, Houston, etc., because even though there's a high number of murders, the rates are low because of the large populations. Some cities aren't free with their numbers like Dallas or Miami.

DC was 162 murders up from 106 in 2014. 162 is their highest since 2008. It used to get near 200.

Their Metro's are near the same size too, so Ottawa overall is way way safer Even Austin as safe as it is is dangerous compared to Ottawa.

Austin–Round Rock metropolitan area (1,943,299 as of July 1, 2014.)



So Ottawa's Region is fast approaching 1.8 Million not that much smaller than Austin!

7 murders for Ottawa and one for Gatineau (which has just under 300,000 people) in 2015.

Ok then 8 Murder's Total for Canada's National Capital Region.
Either way its low by most of the world's Standards. (Lower than the Canadian Average & Lower than even some places in Europe).

thanks, was just about to post that, although i did not know exact number.

also, didn't houston have a significant uptick this year? maybe there was some cutoff with that list i was missing.

edit: i was curious to find out how many murders were in houston for comparison's sake, especially as it has a population rapidly approaching chicago's.

all i could find was this article projecting 281 2015 murders for the city, or about 11.5 - 12/100,00

anyone know the real #?

PPD is short on Police in regards to the numbers the force they want. Hiring has been a bit more difficult as they have raised the standards of the past several years. (Its a good thing, as well as the starting salary being approx. 6k higher today than it was 3-4 years ago.) PPD had a bit of a PR issue with several cops being arrested in a short period of time.

In regards to the unsolved murders, I believe as well as what's being reported is the current culture. There is a big "No Snitching" culture that happens in the area's where majority of murders take place. North, West and southwest Philly are notorious area's. More and more there has been an increase in the lower Northeast area, do to the growing gentrification in the Lower Kensington area. There is also quite the fear of retaliation in many of the area's.

Hope that helps.

Montreal had 30.

This is a big problem in other cities as well, including Chicago.

[QUOTE=Darkoshvilli;7288763]Montreal had 30.

Can you give us an update for the Greater Montréal area? Laval, southshore, off-island East and West?

30 seems to be about average in Montreal for the last 8 years.

Between Chicago and Baltimore. I can not tell which is worse. Both have gone through issues with police relations in the past 12 months, but something has to give. These two cities have great history and neighborhoods and they are constantly over shadowed by gun deaths.

uaarkson Jan 6, 2016 10:31 PM

Baltimore is WAY worse than Chicago.

toddguy Jan 7, 2016 10:29 AM

Columbus is at five homicides so far in 2016, and has had 14 homicides in the last 15 days. :(

Try this for Houston: http://www.houstontx.gov/police/cs/stats2.htm go down the page a bit. You have to add up the months. Use "20" for any month missing and you'll be close.

Last year 242 with pop of 2,219,933 = 10.9

2,722,000 Chicago
2,220,000 Houston
----------------
0,502,000

Wow! I didn't know it was so close. Ten years ago some people on here were saying it would never happen.

2015 murder rate: 25.3

Same source as you:

152 - 2015
94 - 2014
110 - 2013
113 - 2012
64 - 2011
94 - 2010

Throw the odd ones out - 152 & 64, and the average year is 103 /600k = 17.2

Boston, Denver, Seattle, etc., too few murders for me personally. Nothing against Milwaukee. I don't have the time or space for the list I keep.

Many years ago I met a girl from Milwaukee. I still have her name and address with a Milwaukee Braves pin she stuck in it.

28 murders; 3 of those were homicides ruled to be justified.

Vancouver had a death last night involving a possible assault along the False Creek seawall near downtown, but it hasn't been classified as a murder yet.
