Seems like the highest crime rates are in the Sun Belt…
Cool. Now do a county or electoral district map.
Now do it by county and single-motherhood rates.
Are the North Western Territories inherently violent? Or is it just a case of a low population making it so that just a handful of murders skews the statistics?
Yay, St Louis! We’re #1! We’re #1!
Oh, wait. That’s a bad thing in this case.
[https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/state-stats/deaths/homicide.html](https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/state-stats/deaths/homicide.html) – USA
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Canadian_provinces_and_territories_by_homicide_rate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Canadian_provinces_and_territories_by_homicide_rate) – Canada
The US and Canada regularly keep state-by-state and province-by-province homicide statistics, with the US having a national average of 5.7 homicides per 100k and Canada having a national average of 1.8 homicides per 100k. One trend we can observe is that the whole area of northeast USA and Eastern Canada have the lowest homicide rates while the southern-most states of the USA and northern-most territories of Canada have the highest rates of homicide.
However, one major difference between violent crime in the US vs Canada is that in the US, urban areas see higher levels of crime (urban residents are 2x more likely to be victims of violent crime than rural residents), but in Canada, the opposite is true with rural areas having higher levels of crime than urban areas (rural residents are 34% more likely to be victims of crime than urban residents).
**States with lowest homicide rate:**
1. New Hampshire (1.9 per 100k)
2. Utah (2.2 per 100k)
3. Rhode Island (2.5 per 100k)
4. Wyoming (2.6 per 100k)
5. Massachusetts (2.7 per 100k)
**States with highest homicide rate:**
1. Mississippi (19.4 per 100k)
2. Louisiana (19.3 per 100k)
3. Alabama (14.8 per 100k)
4. New Mexico (14.7 per 100k)
5. Tennessee (11.4 per 100k)
**Provinces/Territories with lowest homicide rate:**
1. Prince Edward Island (0.6 per 100k)
2. Quebec (1 per 100k)
3. New Brunswick (1.1 per 100k)
4. Nova Scotia (1.3 per 100k)
5. Ontario (1.6 per 100k)
**Provinces/Territories with highest homicide rate:**
1. Northwest Territories (13.3 per 100k)
2. Yukon (7.3 per 100k)
3. Manitoba (5.1 per 100k)
4. Nunavut (4.9 per 100k)
5. Saskatchewan (4.8 per 100k)
Looks like I’m living in the right place.
Now remember that London, which MAGA thinks is a violent hellhole, would be blue
It’s insane how Winnipeg seen as the anarchist crime hell is comparable to some of the safest American states
Baby Blue gang says no to murder
For everyone wondering about NWT. It’s domestic violence stemming from substance abuse and the fucky daylight hours in the winter.
It would be nice to see an index that is the homicide RATE per capita, or homicides per capita ^2. that would show places that have more homicides than expected for any population density.
It makes sense to use homicides per capita ^2, since by definition every homicide involves (at least) 2 people. By random chance, we would expect homicides to increase by the square of the population density, or homicide rate to increase linearly with population density.
New Hampshire with all the chill it seems like.
In Canada we’re constantly being told by conservatives that our justice system is fundamentally broken and crime is completely out of control, and this is just another reminder that it’s worthwhile to take an actual look at the statistics instead of succumbing to fearmongering that anecdotally fits high profile cases. That’s not to say people can’t criticize our justice system or that there aren’t areas in which Canada’s response to crime is lacking, but there’s an absurd notion that Canada is absolutely flooded with violent criminals who never receive any punishment that simply doesn’t comport with the actual facts. We’ve got 1/3 of the US murder rate overall and the majority of our population lives in provinces with homicide rates below that of any US state.
The unwillingness of people to take the basic step of looking into whether or not fearmongering claims have any actual broader empirical basis is one of the great obstacles of rational political discourse.
I didn’t even know there was a 100k people in the Northern Territory
Demographics is the driving factor
I hate these maps.
I mean, I get it, it can be somewhat interesting. But the reality is that there is a strong correlation between homicide rates and the percentage of some minority groups (Black in the American South, First Nations/indigenous in Nunavut, Yukon, Alaska and New Mexico.) This draws out the racists, and the counter-reaction to those racists involves denying basic reality („Let’s pretend this is all about substance abuse!“) There is really very little to be gained.
I’d be more interested in seeing this map overlaid with something like rates of childhood lead exposure, or social factors like teen pregnancy or family structure. Something beyond race/ethnicity, without pretending that race/ethnicity doesn’t matter.
About all I find interesting about it is that some states with extremely high levels of gun ownership and lax gun laws can nevertheless have very, very low homicide rates, which some people on Reddit may find impossible to believe. I used to live in New Hampshire and still own three rental houses there, and open carry is very much a thing.
I wonder how this correlates with rural versus urban populations.
Red states are still red in this map.
Stupid New England and its violent liberals!
Now do one where justified homicides such as accidental, self defense by individuals and police are removed.
That’s too much family drama for me. Blessed to be in Washington state. Not fully blessed until Canada annexes us.
Sadly, most states do not count death by law enforcement as homicide due to immunity
Red states taking their name to heart I see
Seems like it tracks pretty well with quality of life
The south always shines on those map
Mods – this is the *11th* time a map of the US has been posted dressed up as “data” in the last 48 hours.
Can we please do something about this spam?
This is for only the ones they find Or deem homicide.
I thought the bible belt was full of people who preach love and acceptance? /s
You have been fired as a result of this post.
Same map. every. single. time.
Wow… it’s almost like the GOP was full of shit when they slam California for having worse homicide rates than… pretty much every state and especially the south.
Anything above 2 is terrifying, I would feel very unsafe in such place.
Got dang liberal cities! -Oh wait, they’re red states……um.. Biden made them red states kill each other!
Is there any awful stat either MS or AL aren’t always at or near the very top?
I would think that correlates pretty well with population density and affluence.
I’m surprised Alaska isn’t higher
Why New Mexico? Correlation to gun ownership and potential PTSD with military/veterans? Not at all saying anything negative about military service members in any capacity, just statistically higher probability that one or both might alter things.
Every time I see a map like this no matter what the subject is (obesity, education, happiness,etc.) Quebec is always on the better end of the spectrum. That makes me feel good about living here haha
I have to wonder why the deeply Christian, loving, Law and order backing, Trump supporting, red state, have such a high murder rate.
Is there a signup sheet or something? I want to repost this too.
For those wondering about Canada: more isolated populations = a whole host of negative sociological effects, including violence.
Interestingly enough, this shows the democrats and Republicans divide as well for gun controls.
I’m not American here, but every time I see data for America.
You can ALMOST split it for political dominance in states and outlook.
Strange phenomenon that rest of the world has very little of.
The little US problem area is, as always, the little US problem area.
Weird. It correlates with where slavery, jim crowe, and Republicans are most deeply entrenched.
Must be a coincidence tho.
All that prayer seems to not be working.
Once again, the South is an embarrassment to the US.
