Gun homicides nationwide have barely declined, but in California's Bay Area they're down 30% . But the total number of gun homicides is down across the region as a whole. In the Bay Area cities that historically have seen the worst burden of violence, daily gun homicides have fallen dramatically, the Guardian’s analysis shows. In 2017 alone, the region suffered 111 fewer gun homicides, and 151 fewer total homicides, than a decade before. San Francisco has seen its property crime rate increase even as the number of people killed in gun homicides has dropped.
