The safety of American cities has been a major news topic this year. City safety, or its purported lack, can significantly influence quality of life and return on dollars invested by residents, businesses and government alike, SmartAsset notes in a new report.
When Americans consider where to take a job, raise a family, buy a home or retire, they weigh tradeoffs between opportunities, locations and lifestyles. Wisely, they also think about safety in their new location.
To find out how safe American cities are, SmartAsset ranked the 50 largest cities to identify the safest ones based on violent and property crime rates, vehicular and drug-overdose deaths and excessive drinking.
See the gallery for the 12 safest U.S. cities in 2025, according to SmartAsset.
