This is a list of Canadian provinces and territories by homicide rate according to Statistics Canada.[1]
Homicide rate by province[edit]
- Note: The rate columns can be sorted in ascending or descending order. Sort the province/territory column to return to alphabetical order.
Rates are calculated per 100,000 inhabitants per year and sorted by population (note that homicide rates fluctuate a lot for areas with low population).
