Communes with the highest reported homicide incidence in Chile

Reported homicide incidence per 100,000 inhabitants by commune. Includes homicide, femicide, parricide, infanticide, and related offences (CEAD subgroup 101 within the Life Crimes family). Figures represent police-recorded cases (casos policiales — complaints plus arrests in the act), not convictions. Source: CEAD — Ministry of Interior and Public Security, official police statistics.

Rates are police-recorded cases (casos policiales) per 100,000 residents per year, sourced from CEAD official police statistics. Communes with small or seasonal/touristic resident populations can show very high rates because the figure is divided by a small resident base.

The national average is the simple mean across communes for this crime family (communes ≥ 10,000 inhabitants, latest complete year).Methodology.
