tbh I’d like to see this map with subregions. The differences within a country can be vast. Some of Brazil’s major cities have lower homocide rates than some of the most dangerious cities in the US
wikipedia list ranking cities by homocides per 100000 inhabitants.
São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, two cities widely regarded as dangerous by brazilians, aren’t even in the top 50 on that list, while there are several major US cities. So I think looking only at the country-level you don’t really get a good picture of violence in the americas

Now can we have an overlay that compares the counties with their political majority.
Don’t look at it on a county-level, then. You’ll be disappointed. The highest murder rates are in blue counties inside red states. The statistics correlate with race and poverty.

Nah, that’s gay. /j
I’m surprised about Greenland
Greenland has a population of only 56k, so difference between zero and American numbers is literally 3 kills.
As they say, statistics are the worst kind of lies
There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.

population doublesBingo. I’m sure people could make some great “murder is up/down 300%” clickbait headlines.
Im surprised to see Greenland counted as america. I mean, the yanks hasn’t aquired the country yet.
Yeah me too. Since when did Greenland have data?
After the danes loosened their grip on Greenland it got a highly developed state and has some of the best data collection anywhere. An interesting anecdote is that their healthcare system is free, but lacking in certain areas, statistics not being one of them. You probably only notice Greenland now, because it shows up as a part of the Americas.
It’s a joke about how Greenland often appears on maps like this as “no data”, along with extreme isolationist countries like North Korea and disputed areas like Western Sahara.
Greenland being “no data” is a running joke, like New Zealand not appearing on the map at all.
No one knows. The creator decided that a source and a year of collection were not relevant information.

TIL Canada sends all its murderers to a tiny island off Newfoundland.
Creo que lo que nos mantiene con bajo nivel en comparación, es el fernet con coca y el mate.
Why are Puerto Rico and the USVI colored separately from the rest of the US? If you’re gonna do that, each US state should be colored separately too.
(Also, it’s kinda hard to tell which circles go with which tiny islands, but if I’m reading it right, wow, that’s a high murder rate for the USVI!)
Wait, crime in America isn’t actually that high? B-b-but legacy media and Reddit said that I should be terrified for my life every time I walk out my front door! lol
- This is homicide. Not crime.
- This map is comparing US with Canada and a Latin America. Latin america in general (obvously as seen, there are big differences between countries) is known for high crime and homicide rate. Concluding “not that high homicide” by looking at this nap is like taking a picture of a puddle in a dessert and saying that the puddly has plenty of water.
