The thing is life is so cheap in some parts of Latin America that you just don’t hear about murders much until they are truly horrific. I usually buy the local newspaper when I go to places to practice my Spanish and their newspapers are not as censored as ours. I’ve seen stories about some pretty nasty things, two little kids that worked on buses collecting fares shot in the head because the owners of the bus company didn’t pay protection money to the local gang. A picture of Mexican cops surrounded by a pile of heads etc. Last year I met a woman who was burgled but the burglar bled to death in her front room when he was attacked by a coati that she rescued...the coati slashed the guy’s femoral artery with its claws. I asked her if she wasn’t traumatized and she said “not really, I've not been burgled since”.

I've also met people who have lived in these places for years with no incidents.
 
you can get mugged in Lima, Peru pickpocketed in Greece or Italy , and killed by two wacko kids from BC while your camping. Bad things happen in nice places

Street smarts is where it’s at for most of the places off the beaten track. When I go away to Central America my fancy watch and any jewelry stays at home. I don’t dress in designer clothes and usually just wear shorts, flip flops and a football (soccer) shirt. I’m still the world’s whitest gringo but I don’t look like a rich target.

The fact that Greenland has the same murder rate as the US tells you those stats don’t tell the whole story.
 
The fact that Greenland has the same murder rate as the US tells you those stats don’t tell the whole story.
Too simple of a conclusion, Greenland has a very small population -- statistical anomaly. If you choose countries with 1M or more, you get a better comparison. Greenland or not, the USA is still considerably safer than any Central or South American.

Also know that in the USA crime in American cities is highly concentrated in economically disadvantaged areas. You're probably not going to pick Baltimore, Detroit, or Compton as your retirement destination. Factor that in and you're very close to Canadian rates.
 
US is safer than Latin America, really??
Why TF do you bring a gun to a garlic festival?

Well that's the USA for you, freedom to have and do anything.
But they have a gun and stupid problem down there, as well as the right to capitalize on that stupidity.

I think it's still safer, and the laws matter.

True. Freedom comes at a cost. Read the details on the @JavaFan chart shown above , they are not psycho random shootings, largely gang and domestic violence, not the scary stuff you see as an innocent bystander.

Sure there is a risk of being mowed down by a psycho with an AR-15. If the psycho can't find one of those, trucks and vans are easy to rent and have been used to achieve the same outcome. Sadly we have seen that here too.

Not really, the story is really one of geography and population. Any map of the US at election time recently would tell you that a large part of it is generally red and only a small part is blue but the blue portion generally represents a much higher population density. Greenland, as far as I know, isn’t split up into states like the US and some US states are the size (and population) of Central American countries. A fairer comparison would be US states vs some countries vs some country states and then you’ll get some interesting statistics. North Dakota will likely have a similar murder rate to Greenland, but Maryland won’t. The murder rates in the US generally might not approach those of Guatemala (very high rate, small country) or El Salvador (high rate, small country) but there’s likely some Mexican states like Baja California (no travel advisories) that are safer than many US states. Crime in Central American countries is also concentrated in the cities, many of the retirement areas experience petty crime though. So, stats like you posted don’t really mean much unless you dig a bit deeper.

I’d still choose a Central American/South American retirement location before even considering a US city for a multitude of reasons of which crime is only one. Some of these countries now have very good amenities on a par with and sometimes better than our own. I’ve been to a mall in San Salvador that was swankier and cleaner than any I’ve been to in Canada, same in Panama City. The local hospital in Liberia in Costa Rica is state of the art and quite new. I wouldn’t retire to those cities but places I like are within an hour or so of them (except El Salvador...it is a nice country but I’m not nuts).

A fairer comparison would be US states vs some countries vs some country states and then you’ll get some interesting statistics. North Dakota will likely have a similar murder rate to Greenland, but Maryland won’t. The murder rates in the US generally might not approach those of Guatemala (very high rate, small country) or El Salvador (high rate, small country) but there’s likely some Mexican states like Baja California (no travel advisories) that are safer than many US states. Crime in Central American countries is also concentrated in the cities, many of the retirement areas experience petty crime though. So, stats like you posted don’t really mean much unless you dig a bit deeper.

I’d still choose a Central American/South American retirement location before even considering a US city for a multitude of reasons of which crime is only one. Some of these countries now have very good amenities on a par with and sometimes better than our own. I’ve been to a mall in San Salvador that was swankier and cleaner than any I’ve been to in Canada, same in Panama City. The local hospital in Liberia in Costa Rica is state of the art and quite new. I wouldn’t retire to those cities but places I like are within an hour or so of them (except El Salvador...it is a nice country but I’m not nuts).
I figure my retirement should be as worry free as possible. A nice community in SW Florida or SW AZ, NV or CA where the cost of housing is a fraction of Toronto and the amenities, healthcare and security are similar suits me fine. I can jump on my bike and ride for thousands of interesting miles never worried about over night lockups, safety lessons for my visitors, tropical diseases, bugs, and crimes against me and my family.

Will it cost a little more - yeah, a little - but living freely with great restaurants, conveniences, first class health care, and a sense of security suits me fine. If I ever feel like I need to ratchet down the cost to equal central and south America I still have the cheapo warm options in LA, MS, AR and few more states.
 
@Mad Mike Wonder how hard it is to live in the states as a retiree? Do you have to get a green card or can you just cross the border back into canada and that resets your permissible stay length as a tourist?
 
My criteria is completely different: Can I drink the water? Can I breath the air? Will I lack for anything? Can I see myself living here for the rest of my life?

As a Canadian you can stay in the US up to 6 months maximum. Then you have to come back to Canada to "reset".

how many days back in Canada qualify as a reset?

another issue is there is a minimum number of days/year
you have to remain resident to keep OHIP valid

IIRC it's 6 months minus a day. You have to be back in Canada before 6 months to retain your OHIP coverage.

If you want to full on emigrate you have to qualify, that's a thread on it's own. Travel visas for Canadians it's pretty easy, you can enter and leave when you want. For full compliance you would need to be in the USA no more than 183 days in the trailing 12 months. That said, it's pretty common knowledge that the USA doesn't hunt down and deport law abiding Canadians who overstay - that could change in a heartbeat.

Leaving and returning will reset the expiry, it will not increase the total allowable days. Overstaying these limits can have grave consequences.

Most of Central America has permanent resident visas for retirees who can prove financial stability, staying there permanently is easy if you have money or a stable pension income. Much easier than staying in the USA.
