Most violent municipios (counties) from April 2023 to March 2024


All counts refer to police reports (averiguaciones previas which may contain more than one victim), since that is the only information available at the municipio level. Homicide rates were sorted based on the lower limit of the 99% credible interval of the number of homicides modeled as a Poisson variable assuming that the prior distribution is the number of homicides in the state, all this because of the need to balance the high homicide rates of some municipios with the uncertainty of small populations. Homicides include feminicides.
