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. - Admin note: Link to original thread. http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=136088 |

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 |
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. |

Maryland's murder rate is going to be really high this year since Baltimore had such an increase and so did Montgomery County and Prince George County. 2014 Maryland had 21 more murders in all then Baltimore finished the year with in 2015. http://www.disastercenter.com/crime/mdcrime.htm |

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. |

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). |

Final Year End Numbers for 2015: Wilmington, DE -- 26 homicides (city of 72,000 approx). Philadelphia, PA -- 277 homicides (rate 17.7 per 100,000). can't find Camden, NJ or Chester, PA.... ?? |

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 |
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. |

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. "Austin’s black population shrinking by percentage, growing in numbers" http://www.mystatesman.com/news/news...ntage-g/nnT4m/ "Feeling Invisible, Black Residents Leave Austin". http://www.texastribune.org/2014/07/...erican-austin/ "Residents look to revive Austin's shrinking black community" http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/30/living...pulation-feat/ 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. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa...ases-1.3355361 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.) Quote:

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 #? |
Quote:
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. |

[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. |
Chicago had four just yesterday alone including a double driveby on two teens. Happy 2016

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. |
