Nothing matches that.
Countries: intentional homicide rate per 100,000, UNODC distributed through the World Bank (WDI VC.IHR.PSRC.P5), latest year available per country, CC BY 4.0 — these terms describe the World Bank distribution, not a licence we assign to UNODC data. The score exists for every country listed; the rate column is filled only where our dataset stores the underlying figure, and says so where it does not.
U.S. states: FBI Crime Data Explorer, 2024, public domain — note: Reporting to the FBI is voluntary, so agency coverage varies by state and year. The 0–100 score is a Costely calculation — clamp(105 − 20·ln(1 + rate), 0, 100) — and covers intentional homicide only, not any other crime. It is not a World Bank, UNODC or FBI figure, and none of them endorse this site. Country and state scores share one formula but rest on different collections and different years, so the two lists are ranked separately and should not be merged.
