I had a peruse through http://www.city-data.com http://www.city-data.com earlier, and most of the cities I thought of looking at were higher than that 3.9 - only Portland and NYC (oddly) matched it. Denver was 5ish. Dallas 9ish. SF 5. LA 6. Nashville 6. Boston 8. While I didn't go exhaustive, it was enough to establish the trend. I imagine Salt Lake City would be lower than the national rate, but most of the cities were above it - certainly more population than 1-2%. Get into the cities perceived as high crime (chicago, philly, dc...) and you get 15s and up - nawlins was 40!

And still.... the figure for Venezuela is 64 (per 100 000 pop.). And that is the whole country. Caracas is much, much worse. Until late 1980's the Venezuelan murder rate was below 10. It was actually lower than United States. Since then, the U.S. has improved a lot, and Venezuela has collapsed, particularly quickly during Maduro's time but that is merely a consequence of Chavez's "Bolivarian" policies. (I personally think they are giving a bad name to Simon Bolivar.)
