Costa Rica: 11.5 per 100,000
Costa Rica tallied only 19 additional killings last year compared to the year before, but drug gang feuds sent murders spiraling in some corners of the Central American country.
Costa Rica's 588 homicides in 2021 gave the country a murder rate of 11.5 per 100,000, just a tick above last year's rate of 11.2, according to data from the country's Judicial Investigation Agency (Organismo de Investigación Judicial - OIJ).
