I thought it'd be interesting to see a race to zero. I'm guessing probably anything breaking a million in metropolitan area / urban area is probably pretty hard, but perhaps we'll have a nice surprise. I'm also guessing that it's possible a Canadian metropolitan area takes it.
As the year isn't over, we might start striking off some of the metropolitan areas originally listed.
I had some hunches, but they were so far no good as Ann Arbor (Washtenaw Count) and Provo-Orem (Juab and Utah counties) unfortunately both already have had homicides this year.
When filtering for homicides and for this calendar year so far, nothing shows up, so I think this is our first contender. Only thing is that from what the map does show, it doesn't seem like it covers the entire metropolitan area but there also aren't that many people outside of the municipality in the metropolitan area.
I don’t have any data, but I would be pleasantly surprised if any U.S. MSAs or urban areas truly have zero homicides for the year. Maybe a handful of micropolitans.

Canadian metros would not shock me, however.
Yea, I guess there should be a different winners bucket for the two countries, but I would also like to be pleasantly surprised.

Good ideas, perhaps someone would have a source to verify these. I'll list this as so fully knowing that places can drop off over the course of this year. I'm also currently taking the official 2020 census for the US and 2021 census for Canada

Windsor, ON went like 3-4 or more years without a homicide, then had one or two a year, then had one year had 10 or 15 out of its pop. of 250-300K people. Maybe due to more people in the city, more businesses going away therefore a little more chaos and drug use usually and this was pre-Covid mostly, etc. Still very safe mostly but maybe not as good as it was, and keep in mind Windsor was a blackmarket town

The closest is Boston as last I saw they've only had 3, which is still impressive for a city that size.
