Before planning your next
vacation, it may be worth doing some research into the cities you plan to visit
- especially if the itinerary involves locales in Mexico and South America,
where the top 10 most dangerous places in the world are located. According to a
report by the Citizens’ Council for Public Security and Criminal Justice, these
cities have documented the highest homicide rates per capita.
Below is the Most Dangerous
Cities list according to World Atlas.
Tijuana is the most dangerous city in the world
[My analysis; USA has 10% of
the most violent cities in the world. Mexico
has 30%.]
Named the most dangerous city
in the world with 138 murders per 100,000 residents (about seven killings per
day), Tijuana is known for violent crime and poverty. Not long ago, it was a
party spot for American college students during spring break, until its seedy
underbelly of crime surfaced. Most of the violence comes from human trafficking
and drug trades (largely crystal meth), each run by different gangs, as well as
a rivalry between the Sinaloa (El Chapo) and Tijuana cartels. (Tijuana below)

I don't believe tijuas is most dangerous city. I lived there for 10 years even went to all the dive bars I know alot of people there and I have family there even was out and about 3 am in morning in alley bar across from adeletas the most dangerous alley u can chill in , and so yeah.
ReplyDeleteSeems like nobody owns tj even thou cartel fans be claiming otherwise...🖕
ReplyDeleteSomething isn’t right here... Chicago isn’t even on the list?
ReplyDeleteThis is per 100,000 people, Chicago has a lot of murders but they also have a huge population.
DeleteFor the country of Mexico this really tells to the level it has sunk....either the people rise up and fix this or continue to live in fear and death.
Reading article, I thought they were rating places in Mexico, then I saw other cities? Yea, I strongly agree! This can't be right, CHICAGO is not in the top five? Either, Chicago is hiding death rates OR someone didn't do their homework!
DeleteThat's because from a homicide standpoint, these cities are far worse. Truth, do your research.
Delete1042 no Chicago isn’t on the list.... and the numbers don’t lie. Except in Latin America where many murders are not reported.
DeleteChicago Is not as violent as people think they never were the murder rate capital of the United States Cities like Saint Louis Baltimore Oakland and Richmond California have always been worse
DeleteVeracruz, tamaulipas, michoacan, coahuila, guerrero, and Nayarit states attorneys and governors have always left it to their chief Law Enforcer States Attorneys and their private State Police contractors to disappear carefully their murdered, victims of extortion, kidnapped for ransom, rebel cartel members or innocent people. This shit started with Salinas' disappearances of Cardenas volunteers, 500 to a 1000 (estimated)
DeleteChicago's murder rate has been in rapid decline since they started pushing people to conceal carry and defensive gun use has gone up.
Deletechicago demands a recount
DeleteAlso, New Orleans has had 145 homicides, with a population of 1,200,000. Pretty easy math.
DeleteOk how the hell is Chicago not on the list? St. Louis, Detroit, and New Orleans arent great but Chicago should be #1 in USA.
ReplyDeleteGo look at the populations of the other three places compared to Chicago.
DeleteI'm figuring they are ranked relative to population because I was wondering the same
DeleteCertain areas of Chica-go are reli baaaeed but since it is kinda big on the whole the numbers are such they don't make the list.
DeleteDon't forget: they got some pretty good emergency facilities so many who'd be dead 10 years ago are saved nowadays. There be many shootings, but lot less dead than in LatAm or even StLouis or B-town.
what about Playa Del Crimen, MX ... 200+ and a pblacion de mas que 250,000 habitantes... i guess you have to have more people to be on the list. check out their murders and pblacion
DeleteCompton didint make the list woohooo
ReplyDeleteIf you've ever been to Detroit, you'ed be very happy to live in Compton.
DeleteCompton has been calm for the past decade
DeleteCompton isn't a city.
DeletePolice department used to be Compton PD, once it changed to Sherrifs contract, homicide rates came down.
Delete5:41.. whacha talkin bout willis??? of course it is.
DeleteI am thinking they only included cities with a large population, as compton is apx 23 per 1000 and number 1 in overall crime in california. But it is a small city not even 100k pop. and this is homicide only stats.
when the gangs were at unprecedented war in 1990 the homicide rate was a staggering 91 per 100k
Where the racial makeup was predominantly black, in 2015 Hispanics became the majority.
I remember Acapulco, back in 80 and 90,everything was amazing, and now? Sad and mad
ReplyDeleteAcapulco is still nice
DeleteAcapulco is a shithole. As soon as you get there your cabbie your hotel emplyees are telling someone so you get kidnapped.
DeleteIf you get rid of the poverty, crime and corruption THEN Acapulco is nice!
DeleteI agree Acapulco was nice, I went there in the early 70's, Another is Nuevo Laredo, we used to visit several times a year. I have not been there in almost 10 years, won't be going back.
DeleteUNKNOWN!!
DeleteThe comment you sent in yesterday was disturbing and disrespectful to us. If you don't like what we post or rules leave...please.
I strongly believe you are a troll who shit stirs on every post. You claim to be from US and MX and every city we report about. You claim to personally know subjects and take a position one day that is contradiction the next. One day your are a racist the next fighting back against someone who is. obviously a game to you. seeing how much attention you can glean.
I am inclined to just not post any of your comments because you waste our time. Yet you have proven yourself to be capable of strong, relevant comments. And believe be I get it. I is not that difficult.
9:05 possibly the same guy, that claims he was a block away when 14 police were ambushed in Michoacan, then says he saw Obrador shake Chapos mom. A truly fake news guy.
DeleteNice job Mexico. 5 of the top 6.
ReplyDeleteLawless country that celebrates the thing that holds them down.
DeleteSt Louis is more dangerous than culiacan? N the list San juan Puerto rico as United states?
ReplyDeletePuerto Rico needs to be dumped. Corrupt and looking for a handout.
Delete3x more homicides in Culiocan than St. Louis
DeleteWhat's really scary...think about how many murders go unreported in MX. I bet the real numbers are 3X maybe 5X what's being reported. The drug war has turned a breathtaking landscape into one big mass dumping ground graveyard. Worst of all, theres no end insight.
DeleteRegarding Chicago--data is almost always calculated per capita which is 100K
ReplyDeleteTijuana is a blood bath then, 3rd largest city in Mexico if I’m correct
DeleteChicago has good hospitals. The care you get goes a long way in determining whether you are shooting victim, or an actual murder victim.
ReplyDeleteThis is 2018 can't find 2019.
ReplyDeleteThe murder rate in Chicago is 20.7 per 100,000.
In 2018, 563 people were murdered in the city.
Hmmm. I know this is per capita but even then, this is off. How do Caracas and Fortaleza have more homicides to date than Tijuana but still rank lower than Tijuana. Again, I understand it's per capita but something is still off.
ReplyDeleteBy the end of 2015, Chicago's homicide rate would rise to 18.6 per 100,000. By 2016, Chicago had recorded more homicides and shooting victims than New York City and Los Angeles combined - Wikipedia, half of New Orleans, #50. Culiacan is #16 on the list above. Puerto Rico is a US territory.
ReplyDeleteWho can flood Puerto Rico with crime to soften their government and economy? It happened in chicago since Big Tuna died, they took the Outfit and Cicero and Mayor Betty Loren Maltese to prison and the cleaners because a former girl of the night can't be left alone no matter what.
DeleteAll the crime in Chicago can be blamed on needs for a Bulls arena and White Sox baseball park, the owners of the teams turned the Hoods on to crime to tear them down and they have plans for Humboldt Park, one big gigantic casino on the second floor...with landing strips and helipads.
Oh for heaven's sake think about the dangerous cities in Mexico, enough with nagging about Chicago, you remind me of my next door neighbor, always nagging about the little things in life.
ReplyDelete2:01 well, if chicago is full of crime.and criminals, So is Washington DC, and the defense department and their trillion dollar defense contractors always looking to make killing somewhere "through proper legislatiin through prosperity through lobbying".
DeleteCrime always has pre-existing conditions that must not be overlooked, not everybody can be a huachicolero to make up for deficiencies in their paycheck.
The american weapons dealers have done their job, now that the weapons are in Mexico, or Venezuela, as they were in nicaragua, let's fack 'em up with reports of murder statistics, after 36 billion dollars worth of War ON Drugs in Mexico...
Cuidad Victoria? Is that cdn zve or cdg
ReplyDeleteCocoa Victor has always been a CDG stronghold. What's left of the old school clicked up w the CDG or high tailed it to Veracruz to click up w FEGS or Z-35. CDN has no real footing in CV. Here's a question...Wheres El Tory been hiding? Hes been oddly quiet after going on a warpath through NE Mexico. Personally, I think hes making a play for Monterey and Nuevo Leon not for CDN but CJNG. Monterey would be the perfect central location for Mencho to try to take before taking a real shot at Juarez or Tamps. Second richest city in Mex, no dominant cartel (sorry Los Billy) tech and industry hub, large metro area w major highways leadingin all directions. From a pure strategic military perspective he'd almost be crazy not too. Same reason white boots called it home. Who knows, Let's just hope I'm wrong.
DeleteIt was all ZVE a few years ago but now all 3 have a piece of the pie in Ciudad Victoria.
DeleteSure, Mexico is dangerous but USA cities are not far behind, everyone hating Mexico, talks about How screwed things are there but the same people say nothing about how bad American cities are for murder rape poverty etc. Why is this?
ReplyDeleteBecause they pale in comparison.
DeleteYep often the inner cities are shitholes due to the drugs shipped in from Mexico.
Delete229 do you live under a rock? American cities are dangerous and it is reported. In Mexico cities are more dangerous and if it’s reported the reporter is also dismembered.
DeleteLol.
Delete7:04 lol the reporter is dismembered? Our dearest Chivis translated the article, last I seen, she is alive and healthy.😂
Delete8:05 well, it should be a crime to hang yourself...
DeleteNext time THINK!
The activity has even been sponsored by Great Mexican Inventors stolen by the US to parade as american.
There is no comparison here, cities in the US much safer. You don't see convoys of people traveling through the streets of Chicago or LA. You don't see mutilated bodies on the side of a road or wrapped up in plastic sheets, bottom line its not the same.
DeleteWhat a dump Baltimore is
ReplyDelete2:52 well, blame the Colts, but clean the stalls.
DeleteCiudad Victoria is 4th, but we don't hear about it in the news. Border cities get a lot more attention. Lots of media censorship going on there and it's been happening for years. Thanks for the info, Chivis!
ReplyDeleteIs it just ZVE, CDG and CDN fighting at the moment?
DeleteGrupo Bravo proved to be quite the thorn but got stomped out real quick.
If you think US cities are more dangerous than Mexican cities you must not travel much
ReplyDeleteWhere's Johannesburg?
ReplyDeleteJohannesburg has a murder rate of 35.2 per 100,000, so it just missed the list, assuming 2017 numbers.
DeleteThe murder rate for Johannesburg has fallen from 67.9 per 100,000 people in 1995, which is probably where you remembered that city from, but that’s 25-year-old information.
Meanwhile, Tijuana is roughly DOUBLE that number.
I knew TJ was bad, I just didn’t think it was THIS BAD.
South Africa!
DeleteMijo Google it por favor.
Deleteon the dark side of the moon where there are no search engines and you cant look it up

DeleteAny idea as to why that is the case?
Delete@6:26 I resent your lingo implication. You do know that African Americans did NOT swim across the Atlantic on their own free will and that the very fruits of their labor was born on their backs , literally ? The US economy was largely based on Slavery ( and not just blacks ) and still is on Latinos, not to mention Manifest Destiny etcetc ?? Chicago, St Louis, Detroit, Baltimore, and the queen of them all New Orleans where it all started from,yes, have in common a lot of African Americans and now immigrants from all over but it is the poverty, drugs, education and inequality that keeps them down, not the color of their skin.
Deleteapologies for posting the racist remark. :(
DeleteThis list has been posted here before.. list is old as hell. From 2019 I think
ReplyDeleteIt's not old, compiled December 2019, lol exacturating old.
DeleteChicago made el chapó public enemy number one in or around 2013... he had a lot to do with the murders committed in the city....
ReplyDelete7:10 the most recent murdering around Chicago have been happening since the 70s, when CIA rogue agents was selling heroin from SE ASIA all over the US, they had been ramping up since the 60s to get their guy elected, but Sam Giancanna had to chose the wrong guy to back up, JFK...
DeleteNot true at all, most of those murders originated from petty beefs between sets on the West & South sides. Structure in Chicago is nonexistent, even Kings dont have that unity they used to have.
DeleteMayor richard daley and his parks manager representing their gang Ragen's Colts decided it was better to rule city politics and get legal police help fighting criminals instead of getting their asses killed like Dion O'Bannion and Morán's gangsters.
DeleteI bet you that like every other statistic in Mexico, these have been jiggled (downward). disappearances don't count and when/if they find a body it often gets overlooked in the homicide report because it can't be identified. Also, those who report these statistics make mistakes. Those who transcribe these statistics make mistakes. Those who publish these statistics make mistakes.
ReplyDeleteI would estimate that a few of these are accurate, most of these are at a few percent plus (much more likely) or minus (very few) and that there are a few outliers who are straight-up under reporting. Acapulco for sure. Cancun too.
All the numbers from Venezuela, Brazil, and especially Honduras are bullshit. Add at least 15 - 20%.
The US statistics are much more reliable and close to being accurate.
Wow so my country Jamaica is still top 20. Lowest it's been in a long time
ReplyDeleteNice! I was getting upset my hometown wasn't on the list, then I saw we were #50!
ReplyDeleteI don't really get why people take this data as insulting. I love my hometown as much as the next guy, but I'm not gonna get butthurt if somebody criticizes it. We have always had a violent crime issue and that is factual.
Thank you BB for your tireless and fearless non PC reporting!
So refreshing!
Are these the most dangerous in the world?
ReplyDeleteOr the most dangerous in the American continents??
So basically all the dangerous cities are in the western hemisphere? No Africa? Middle East? Or is this because data from over there is limited? Or are they safer than North and South America???. There's a few U.S. cities there, so not even 1 middle eastern city is more dangerous than the most dangerous American city???
ReplyDeleteThere is African cities on there silly
DeleteSyria, Yemen, Iraq are in war so they dont count, while Gulf states got low crime rate, and from poorer countries like Lebanon, Iran, Jordan have you actually heard about violent cities there, only dangerous area that is left is Palestine due Israeli bombings
DeleteNot sure about African countries, but when it comes to Middle East, the punishment for criminals are unimaginable and inhumane. So the possibility of committing crime again in their own nation is minimal. Will you cut off hands of pickpocket ? They do. And they don't keep criminals in prison before torturing them to the core, to an extent the criminal will beg to die. Criminals are not humans to enjoy human rights, they should be dealt like in Saudi and Middle East nations. Sometimes democracy sucks with crime issues
DeleteI’d still rather be in Acapulco than home right now. It’s sort of hard to imagine Acapulco is more “dangerous” than Karachi or Somalia or Syria. I mean I know it’s bad and I’m not the head in the sand type but I do still go once per year and it’s the best week of the year for me. There’s no way as a gringo Acapulco is more dangerous to visit than Aleppo Syria. Yemen? I mean common
ReplyDeleteSyria is in war so they dont count same with Yemen , while look up tourism videos about Karachi dont look like dangerous city just poor, like Indian cities but no one is scared of them , but Pakistan has dangerous areas that border with Afghanistan, Somalia may be dangerous but Somaliland is fine , Iraq is dangerous but Kurdistan part is generally under control. Acapulco isnt even biggest city of Mexico so if you compare it with another city that has 600 000 people think where you are most likely to get shot by armed robbers , Taif - Saudi Arabia, Dammam - Saudi Arabia, Jerusalem - Israel or Konya - Turkey ?
DeleteWow Cancun is worse than Culiacan now
ReplyDeleteI do believe Tijuana is dangerous, I remember 10 years ago it was safer..I loved to go to the bars and listen to rancher music, have fish in Rosarito.
ReplyDeleteNow I do travel there .. people kidnapping people, even in broad daylight, I hear many homes have cages in thier living rooms, now they are not your typical bird cages, they are made with rebar to keep human beings locked up.
Tijuana & Juarez should be #1 & 2 side by side, maybe every other year they switch places but they are consistently the Top 2 cities with most homicides, for obvious reasons.
ReplyDeleteCancun more dangerous than Cd. Obregon???? Must be a typo..
ReplyDeleteChicago,Baltimore ,Detroit ,St Louis. We know why!
ReplyDeleteIf you people would Google you might understand why Chicago
Deleteis not on list
a place to start is Jackass website It shows murders. hits.
knife attacks recovered from
and etc its a funny site
what hard to understand is american reporters think we are complete stupid
One will say crime down but muder up
or say less crime but rapes or robberys on rise
amazing Go to FBI graphs are different then State
So go do your own home work
read many many different news and you"ll all see we are screwed Crime is and will continue and will and is gonna get worse
jackass !! great site
Chicago is so bad Obama won't live there
DeleteThat is a little wild that all cities are from the Americas with the exception of three from South Africa.
ReplyDeleteI'm from San Diego cali. And I can tell u that TJ is no shy town. Real killers and throw aways. U absolutely cannot compare wack ass Chicago to TIJUANA as far as murder rates..lol. You have to understand, that cartels run shit in Mexico. That's buying out from top officials to the municipal police. In TJ it's do or die. No scary shit. You will get smoked in broad day light with witnesses and all. They not worried about forensic or an investigation or witnesses. Trust me. I use to see it first hand. So please whoever's from big major cities, who have so call high murder rates. You guys are not even close. Again. In Mexico they can give a rats as about investigations/forensic/detective's etc. When they want you..they will find you. And if they can't find you, they'll find someone or someone's you love and kill them too. U guys are hilarious. Not proud of it cuz that's were I was born. I just wanna keep in a real perspective.
ReplyDeleteOla vato Viva la Raza!
Delete2:21 you remind me of a homie that is in for murder. Stay low stay clean.
DeleteDanger is everywhere in this world you slip on your bathtub hit your head and die you just have to know where to go and talk to Everytime you leave your house and as for murder rates nobody gets whacked besides being robbed nobody gets a bullet or stabbed for sport it's for a reason respect and good manners go a long way and acting like a tough guy or a gold digger doesn't hack it take your pick.
ReplyDeleteIn new Orleans at night on Bourbon Street some Black guys told us to go back to Mexico. They no like Mexican. We leaved next day never go back more dangerous than Mexico
ReplyDeleteUkn your creepy, becarefull out there, to many drunk drivers.
ReplyDeleteShould go by total number of murders instead of this per 100,000....that equation is used by politicians to make their city safer than it is
ReplyDelete
