The 25 Safest Communities in America

Safety is a major concern for many homebuyers when purchasing a home. It can influence where you feel comfortable living, and safety ratings can be a useful tool when looking for a safe place to live. Violent crime, busy roads, and access to emergency care are some of the factors that can affect the safety of a community.

A recent survey, The 500 healthiest communities across the country by US News, also identified the 25 safest communities in America. The survey's public safety category “aims to reward communities with low crime rates, few fatalities from crashes and motor vehicle accidents, and robust health and public safety infrastructure.”
