In 2019, more than two thirds of homicides in Colombia took place in municipal seats. Meanwhile, over 25 percent of the murders occurred in rural areas and approximately 5.5 percent of them took place in smaller, remote urban areas.
* According to the National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE) in Colombia, the term Population Center is defined as "a concentration of at least 20 contiguous dwellings, neighbors or semi-detached houses; located in the rest of the municipality area or in a non-municipalized area."
