If by "all-time low" you mean "the highest of the last 10 years" (we need to go to 2012 to find a higher value, with 2007/2008 being the peak of the last 20 years).

And also if we're willing to accept this pretty high bar...

For comparison the UK, not exactly the safest country in Europe, had 12x the homicides for 80x the population, which puts SF at 6 times more homicides per population.



For another comparison that actually shocked me (as I'm originally from there): São Paulo, Brazil, had a lower murder rate in 2022 than SF.


Don't look up Saint Louis' rate then :(
