City Murder Rates

Oliver May · #1 Posted **Jan 1, 2016, 7:31 AM**

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.

Sacramento ended the year with 43 homicides. That was up from 28 last year (a historic low).

tablemtn · #8 Posted **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.

I've gone back a few pages to quote this but yes, it is truly a monstrosity the year that El Salvador has had.

These are the confirmed numbers for the first 6 months of 2015 with full year projections after the YTD. These were annualized at the time, it's gotten worse like you said;

El Salvador was at 2,865 (5,730). Population: 6,369,224. Rate of: 44.98 (89.96).

Cities;

San Salvador was at 929 (1,858). Population: 1,830,123. Rate of: 50.76 (101.52).

Santa Ana was at 84 (168). Population: 267,150. Rate of: 31.44 (62.89).

San Miguel was at 96 (192). Population: 252,200. Rate of: 38.07 (76.13).

At the moment I can't remember where I got San Salvador's population from. It's close to the reality thats all I know, I'd quote the source if I could find it.

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.

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! ->

& 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).

tech12 · #17 Posted **Jan 2, 2017, 12:59 AM**

SF ended the year with 59, up from 53 in 2015.
Oakland ended with 87, down from 95 in 2015.
SJ ended with 47, up from 28 in 2015.

And SF is now at 2 murders for the new year, after fatal shootings in the mission and bayview districts.

SlidellWx · #18 Posted **Jan 2, 2017, 2:29 AM**

New Orleans finished the year with 175 murders. The most since 2012, and an increase of 6.7% from 2015. The vast majority of the murders happened in the 5th, 6th, and 7th police districts, and specifically in the Little Woods, Seventh Ward, St. Roch, and Central City neighborhoods. Murder rate of 45.2/100,000.

Baton Rouge finished the year with 45 murders. The second lowest number of murders since 1989. Murder rate of 19.7/100,000.

Quoting from the same page (about five back) and if you're still there, I have halfway-thru-2015 Tijuana numbers;

The Zona Metropolitana de Tijuana after 6 months was at 329 (658). Population: 1,938,597. Rate of: 16.97 (33.94).

Used the same YTD and annualized tactic as before. The Baja state government numbers were at 11 months when I last checked I haven't compiled them yet.
