Not a good thing to be first place in the world at

Tegucigalpa, amazingly enough, doesn't actually have the highest murder rate in Honduras!  In 2011, the homicide rate in Tegucigalpa was 102 murders per 100,000 residents, which was high enough for fifth place in the world.  But the first prize goes to San Pedro Sula, the second largest city in Honduras.  It is in the northwest of the country, near the Atlantic Ocean and border with Guatemala.  In 2013, the homicide rate was 169 murders per 100,000 residents, first place in the world for two consecutive years.
