Search any U.S. city and see its safety score, letter grade, and crime rates in a single step, then open the full profile for trends and context.
The lookup searches more than 8,900 cities indexed from FBI Uniform Crime Reporting submissions. Every rate is
offenses per 100,000 residents, so a small town and a metro compare on equal footing. See the
methodology for the scoring formula.
Type any U.S. city name and the tool returns matching places with their safety score, letter grade, and violent and property crime rates per 100,000 residents. Each result links to a full city profile with year-by-year trends and county context.
How is the safety grade calculated?
The grade weights the violent crime rate at 70 percent and the property crime rate at 30 percent, each compared against the national average from the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting program. A score of 100 is safest; 50 means roughly the national average. The methodology page documents every step.
Why do some cities show no data?
Not every law enforcement agency reports a complete year to the FBI, and very small jurisdictions are sometimes folded into county totals. When a city has no reported offense count for the latest year, the lookup shows a dash rather than estimating a number.
