Vancouver had 2.6 homicides per 100,000 people

Which makes it safer than the safest American city (considering murder rates) according to this: http://www.citymayors.com/society/uscities_safest.html
And from the Mercer study I quoted above:

Luxembourg won top honours in a special ranking of cities based on the quality of their personal safety and security. All five Canadian cities included in the survey tied for sixth in the safety list, making them the only North American cities in the top 10 of that category.

The safety rankings are based on internal stability, crime rates, the frequency of terrorist attacks, the quality of law enforcement, and the degree of personal freedoms.


So Vancouver has a higher quality of personal safety than any American city.
