Homicide rate per 100,000 in El Salvador for year ending 2023.

I will probably use official government figures, if I cannot find a more impartial source that is publishing figures in a timely fashion.

Is there any concerns with resolving this to 2.4 as was reported by reuters?

@ian Just to note, I generally don't find Statista to be a trusted source

bought Ṁ50 HIGHER

For resolving: Data from the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data project (ACLED). A spreadsheet containing select columns from events is available here. This spreadsheet will be updated monthly as new data becomes available. At the time of question launch, ACLED has recorded the following fatality counts due to gang violence in previous years: 

  • 2018: 668 

  • 2019: 535 

  • 2020: 222 

  • 2021: 256 

  • 2022: 217 

Between 1 June 2023 and 14 March 2024 we're at 26 fatalities.

@sanyero this is interesting data, but cannot be a full account of all homicides, since it would follow that el salvador had a homicide rate of 0.7 per 100,000 - below what official statistics state, and one of the safest countries in the world.

@SaviorofPlant What does the article claim the homicide rate was in the calendar year 2023?
