Juarez, Mexico Murder Rate


I live in El Paso, Texas less than 10 miles north of Juarez, Mexico. El Paso is hot, dry, and very poor - but it has historically also been one of the safest cities in the USA. This is beginning to change as the lawlessness and disrespect for rule-of-law moves north.

In America the most dangerous city is New Orleans. Juarez currently has a murder rate four times higher than that in NOLA. The Juarez carnage is 8 times that of Newark, New Jersey.
