The world's 40 most dangerous and deadly cities have been revealed with a North American area taking top spot.<\/p>\n

Plagued by gang violence, vicious murders, shootings and poverty, the list of deadliest cities has been compiled based on homicide rates, measuring the number of homicides per 100,000 people. <\/span><\/p>\n

In the rankings, annually provided by Mexican organisation The Citizen Council for Public Security and Criminal Justice (CCPSCJ), it was proven that Mexico was the deadliest country of all.<\/p>\n

Out of the top 10 most violent cities, nine of those were Mexican, with Colima topping the list overall – marking the sixth consecutive year the city has been ranked the world's most dangerous.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Cities in South and Central America, as well as the United States, also dominated the list, with New Orleans being the only city outside Mexico to make the top 10. <\/p>\n

Thirteen of the cities are from South America, meanwhile, Cape Town, Durban, Port Elizabeth and Johannesburg, which are all in South Africa also made the list. There was also one city each from Jamaica and Haiti.<\/p>\n

Most of the cities are facing the same issues – dense and rapidly expanding populations, districts rife with poverty and gang violence.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

These issues have resulted in the average homicide rate across the top 40 cities on the list being 10 times as high as the rest of the world at 64.55 per 100,000 people.<\/p>\n

In the deadliest city, Mexico's Colima, there was a horrific 182 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants in 2022.<\/p>\n

In total, the city of just over 330,000 people saw 601 people intentionally killed, which was surprisingly an improvement on 2021 when the city had 196 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants.<\/p>\n
