Understanding Murder Rates

A murder rate shows how many murders happen for every 100,000 people in a country. This makes it easier to compare safety between places of different sizes.

What Each Card Means

• Current Rate (YTD) — The murder rate so far this year, based on the first 71 days of data.
• Projected Rate — If murders continue at the current pace for the full year, this is the estimated annual rate. The ~380 shown is the projected total murders.
• 2025 Final Rate — Last year's actual rate, based on 383 total murders recorded.

About the Population

All rates use an estimated population of 1.5 million for Trinidad & Tobago. This is a commonly used approximation; the actual population may vary slightly.
