574 as of 9/10, but that includes police shootings and self-defense(?), so the true number is a bit lower.

Chicago was at 545, according to chicagopolice.org as of 9/9. So using that in addition to sun-times homicide tracker for today and yesterday, it is now 553.

It is low, but much higher than usual around this time and violent crimes have been spiking. It is very worrisome seeing what is going on, even though the overall homicide numbers are low compared to other major cities.

Denver has really calmed down over the summer.

Phoenix was calming down but over the last month, during the local news seems to like the amount of violence has skyrocketed.

Tucson so far this year has been significantly higher on homicide rate than Phoenix.

Tucson's homicide trends are not the same as Phoenix: Spread out in a large area of the city but the suburbs of Tucson tend to have very, very few.

Phoenix homicides tend to be more concentrated than Tucson.

This map shows the concentration of violent crime in Phoenix, fairly concentrated.

A majority of suburban Tucson has extremely extremely low homicide rates and very low violent crime.

Phoenix tends to have extremely safe suburbs also, except for the trio of El Mirage, Glendale and Avondale.

This year has had a higher homicide rate in the East Valley, but there have been years in the past when the East Valley has similar homicide rates to Canadian metropolitan areas like Toronto.

The east valley of Phoenix (Gilbert, Chandler, Fountain Hills, Scottsdale, Tempe, San Tan, Apache Junction) if combined would have similar levels of homicide to Toronto or Edmonton)

Interesting, how Scottsdale has 7 times the homicide rate of Gilbert which are of similar population.

Gilbert and Irvine tend to be safest jurisdictions of their size anywhere in the country. They both have over quarter of a million in population.

Phoenix 149

Scottsdale 7

Tempe 7

Gilbert 1

Tucson was at 61 based on older news reports from the beginning of September but they have had numerous homicides since then based on news reports.

Denver 65
