Texas might have had more homicides than California in 2020. Somebody should look that up!
One city I'm curious about is San Diego. It's always been relatively low compared to the rest of the country, and it might be the only city that actually has a lower total than 2019.
Anyone have any data on how Buffalo did in 2020? Last time I checked the number was at 50 something

It’s just a very safe city that doesn’t really have any ghettos - just generally a laid-back peaceful community. Don’t get wrong, there are sections that are gritty and there is a bit of a homeless issue, but those areas don’t have much violent crime. It’s part of what makes San Diego such an attractive city. I have heard anecdotally though that non-violent crimes like car break-ins are a bit more common.

San Diego has many, many neighborhoods that report 0 homicides and a handful of small neighborhoods that have very, very homicide rates.
Very concentration violent crime in the city of San Diego city proper, but ironically it's spread out in the suburbs with many moderate violent crime rate suburbs.
Mountain View had 5 homicides in 2018 and is one-mile across, very small neighborhood but a very violent area.
East Village is tiny in land area and reported 4 homicides in 2019.
San Diego is interesting because it's common for many of it's suburbs to have a higher homicide rate than the city itself.
San Diego County when includes the suburbs far surpasses Orange County on both homicide and violent crime rates.
San Diego County violent crime rates mirror the national average, Orange County has extremely low violent crime with only one city having even moderate violent crime and that would Santa Ana and even Santa Ana has one of the lowest homicide rates of any city of it's size in America.
San Diego County has numerous rough suburbs with moderate violent crime rates: National City, Lemon Grove, El Cajon, Oceanside, Vista, Escondido commonly have a higher violent crime rate than the city itself. Homicides are low county-wide, but violent crime rates across the metropolitan area mirror the national average because San Diego has many suburbs with moderate violent crime on par with the city itself.
It looks like based on the combination of two sources that San Diego had 54 homicides last year.
All of San Diego County based on the two links combining the data of a total 102 homicides.
San Diego metropolitan area has a low homicide rate but there are many metropolitan areas that have similar or even lower homicide rates. I would venture to guess Boston metro is much lower, Seattle, Salt Lake City and Portland metro are likely quite similar on homicide rates also over the entire metropolitan area per-capita
San Diego had 41 through October 31st.
The crime mapping website shows 13 homicides from November 1st thru December 31st
According the crimestats link there were 85 homicides the first 10 months and the last 2 months they had an additional 17 homicides county side.
