Filter cities by state and population, then see them ranked by safety score, built from FBI violent and property crime data normalized per 100,000 residents.
Choose a state and a population floor to surface the safest qualifying cities. Scores combine violent and
property crime against the national average; read the full formula on our
methodology page.
Pick a state and a minimum population, and the finder ranks the matching cities by safety score, a 0-to-100 measure that weights the violent crime rate at 70 percent and the property crime rate at 30 percent against the national average. The highest scores appear first.
Why set a minimum population?
Very small jurisdictions can post extreme rates from only a handful of incidents, which makes raw rankings noisy. A population floor keeps the comparison among places of similar scale so the results stay meaningful. Set it to "Any size" to include everything reported.
Is a high score a guarantee of safety?
No. The score summarizes reported FBI crime counts for one year; it cannot capture unreported offenses, neighborhood-level variation, or recent changes. Treat it as one well-sourced input alongside local knowledge, not a verdict.
