  • Detroit’s gun homicide rate (35.9) is just a bit less than El Salvador (39.9)
  • Gun murder in Newark (25.4) and Miami (23.7) is comparable to Colombia (27.1).

  • Baltimore’s rate (29.7) is not too far off that of Guatemala (34.8).
  • Atlanta’s rate (17.2) is about the same as South Africa (17).
  • The pattern is staggering. A number of U.S. cities have gun homicide rates in line with the most deadly nations in the world.
  • If it were a country, New Orleans (with a rate 62.1 gun murders per 100,000 people) would rank second in the world.
