><i>If we double 74 and then divide by 6.3 million, we get a predicted rate for the whole year of 2.3 per 100,000. This is noticeably lower than the 2021/2022 figure for every other country in Latin America.</i><p>To contrast, the US has an average of around 7 per 100,000 population. And you don't want to know the stats for specific cities like New Orleans, Detroit, St Louis, and Rochester which can go to 10x that.<p>So, far higher than El Salvador.<p>And compared to Chile, Venezuela, Argentina, and Brazil? Argentina is at 4.6, so 40% safer than the US average. Chile is at 5. So both lower than the US average homicide rate.<p>Brazil is 22.3 (so 3x worse than US average, or 3 times less than St. Lous, MI). Columbia is at 26. And Venezuela is at 40. Around the same as Rochester, NY, but theirs is a country-wide average.
