I have been notified by Andy that my statistics have been updated. Currently only New Orleans is more dangerous (based on homicide rate) than Guatemala.

No EXIF information available.
Statistically speaking being in Guatemala is almost as dangerous as being in Chicago or Detroit (or any other of the big cities in the USA) if you look at homicide figures. Still many people live voluntarily in those two cities (which metro areas have the same population as the central American country), while they are afraid to visit Guatemala.

Chicago has dropped fortunately, though US rates are still many times higher than other industrialized countries (3x as high as canda, 6 times as high as The Netherlands, Germany and Japan for example, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate).
Sill in all industrialized countries you have a much higher chance (2-20 times higher) to be killed by yourself..
