How the Raw Value Is Calculated

The raw value is the number of intentional homicides per 100,000 people. It does not measure every form of crime, but it is one of the most internationally comparable indicators of lethal violence. Lower is better.

The primary source is World Bank WDI VC.IHR.PSRC.P5 based on the UNODC Data Portal. The latest available value is used for each country, so reference years may differ between countries.

For territories or subnational country pages without a WDI value, UNODC table values are used. If coverage is still missing, a harmonised Nomadino fallback is derived from regional and administrative comparators.

The score is non-linear so that very low homicide rates remain differentiated while very high rates are penalised more strongly. Formula: score = 100 - 100 * (min(raw value, 80) / 80)^0.65. At 80 homicides per 100,000 people and above, the score is capped at 0.
