Homicide Rate in Togo: 1800 to Today (and Tomorrow)

A homicide rate is more than a statistic; it is a measure of the quietness of a street and the security of a home. To track these figures is to trace the shifting reality of physical safety for generations of people. In the 2020s, homicide rate in Togo stands at 9.5 per 100,000 — ranking #133 of 157 countries. These numbers reflect the collective experience of millions as they navigate the risks and protections inherent in their changing world.

History reveals a gradual, consistent decline in lethal violence. The trajectory began with the 1800s estimate 15, passing through 14 in the 1850s estimate and reaching 13 in 1900. This slow descent continued through the 1950s 11 and toward 10 in the 1980s. Following the 2010s 9.75, the data points toward a future of continued reduction, with projections for the 2030s estimate 9.03 and a projected 6.3 in the 2100s, reflecting a long-term trajectory of stability.

The probability of daily life transforms across these intervals. A child born in the 1810s estimate 14.8 lived within a different reality than one born in the 1920s estimate 12.2. Today, the 2020s rate of 9.5 suggests a distinct shift compared to the 1840s estimate 14.2. As the statistical profile moves toward the 2090s projection 6.63, the inherent safety of a Togolese life evolves.
