Homicide Rates (United States)
This page catalogues information about homicide rates per 100,000 population by demographics. By using homicide rate instead of total number of homicides in a country, it gives us a better understanding of how common homicides are in a particular country. For example, 100 total homicides in a town of 1,000 people would produce a very high homicide rate of 10,000 per 100,000 population. But 1,000 total homicides in a country of 1 million people, while a higher total number of homicides would result in a lower homicide rate of 100 per 100,000 population.
