Juarez is no longer what you Remember in the News

We still hear quite often from prospective patients, “Is Juarez safe?” Issues going on in Juarez more than five years ago were often the subject in our US news. Nobody will dispute that the drug war was the center of this activity, and has in past years subsided. So to give you some perspective, we think it helps to compare violence in Juarez with other major US cities. Today, Juarez is not even in the top fifty most dangerous cities while four US cities, Baltimore, St. Louis, New Orleans, and Detroit are in top fifty most dangerous in the world. In a quote from the El Paso Times, "In 2015, Juarez reported 311 homicides — the fewest number of slayings since a surge in drug-related violence began eight years ago, officials said Monday." With a population of 1.321 million, that is 23.54 per 100,000. St. Luis has a rate of 59.23 per 100,000, about 2.5 times higher than Juarez according to the wiki stat., and Baltimore's 55 per 100,000, 2.3 times higher than Juarez, using number from Washington Post.

Yes there it was a big story. The numbers show significant improvement since that dark period five years ago
