Lowest homicide deaths by state

Homicide deaths per 100,000 residents.

Deaths from assault per 100,000 residents, using County Health Rankings’ multi-year county rate from NCHS death certificates. This is a mortality outcome, not police-reported crime and not a count of incidents occurring inside the county: deaths are assigned to the resident’s home county. Counties with fewer than ten homicide deaths in the source period are suppressed and shown as unavailable, never as zero. Updated annually.
