Currently, the list of most violent cities in the world is dominated by Latin American cities. In 2015, Cali registered 65 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants. In Bogotá, the rate was 17 per 100,000 inhabitants. However, crime is not homogeneously distributed within the urban area, and literature indicates that the local response to crime affects the housing market. The objective of this paper is to estimate the relationship between housing prices and homicide rates in two Colombian cities: Cali and Bogotá. With the use of diverse sources of information and different econometric methodologies, we found that a 10% increase in homicide rates provokes a 2% decrease in housing prices in Cali and 1.8% in Bogotá.

Actualmente, las ciudades más violentas del mundo se encuentran en Latinoamérica. En 2015, Cali registró 65 homicidios por cada 100 000 habitantes. Para ese mismo año, en Bogotá, la tasa de homicidios reportada fue 17 por cada 100 000 habitantes. Dado que la criminalidad se distribuye heterogéneamente dentro de las ciudades, la literatura señala que la respuesta de las personas ante la criminalidad afecta el mercado inmobiliario. El objetivo de este artículo es estimar la relación entre los precios de la vivienda y las tasas de homicidios en dos ciudades colombianas: Cali y Bogotá. Usando diversas fuentes de información y diferentes métodos cuantitativos de estimación, el principal resultado encontrado fue que ante un incremento del 10 % en las tasas de homicidio, hay una disminución del 2 % en los precios de vivienda en Cali y de 1,8 % en Bogotá, D. C.
