These statistics show the percentage distribution of the global population as of early 2015 – by continent. As of 2015, well over half of the humans on earth, or about 60.11 percent of the population were living in Asia.

By 2100, Africa’s population will close in on Asia’s – changing this graph significantly.

1/3 of global homicides take place in Latin America, even though the region has less then 10% of the world’s population according to UN statistics. Political corruption, poverty, narco-trafficking, and gang violence contribute to the disproportionate numbers. This study and statistics were put together by the Mexico’s Citizens’ Council for Public Security and Criminal Justice. This list does not include cities below 300k populations, nor deaths in warzones – some cities may not be represented on the list due to these factors. Note: The US cities that cracked the top 50 were St. Louis #19, Detroit #22, New Orleans at #28, and Baltimore at #40.

Latin America leads the league with the most dangerous cities for 2013.  Dropping completely off from the list this year are: Mosul, Iraq, Johannesburg, South Africa, and Panama, Panama.  I’m assuming this is due to security improvements, economic growth, and of course good old number fudging in certain cases.  Once again, Mexican and Brazilian cities plague the list.  The poll was conducted by Seguridad, Justicia and Paz, a Mexican firm.  Each year many bloggers question the validity of this poll due to the lack of Asian and African cities.  None the less, it points out that Latin America has some serious work to do in dealing with drug trafficking, security, policing, and judiciary evolution.

“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.” -Albert Einstein
