This map shows the 16 cities in Brazil that are among the 50 most murderous cities world wide together with a chart of the corresponding homicide rates. A larger circle for a city on the map indicates a higher murder rate.
The data comes from Wikipedia and is based on this study. To have a reference value the global estimated murder rate per 100,000 people in 2010 was 6.9, see Wikipedia's List of countries by intentional homicide rate.
This map is created using the d3.geomap JavaScript library.
