Safety should be a top priority when planning to move in the United States. You don’t want to be in a place where you can’t have peace of mind, worrying whether you’ll get to live another day. Even more, you wouldn’t want to be stuck in a city without a job or access to quality education and competitive health care. It doesn’t matter if you’re moving in alone, as a couple, or with your family. Keeping everyone safe is important.
So here’s a list of the top 9 safest cities in the U.S.
1. Frisco, Texas
The suburb is one of the fastest growing cities in America. Some say it’s because Frisco is located 30 minutes away from Dallas, the epicenter of modern-day Texas. Others swear by the city’s quieter lifestyle. But these two are just some of the reasons why people think it’s safe in Frisco.
Why it’s safe to live in Frisco: In 2009, Forbes named Frisco as one of “America’s 25 Best Places to Move”. Two years later and it’s already on CNN’s list of “Best Places to Live” in the United States. It was only recently that Nerdwallet ranked Frisco as the “Best Place in Texas for Young Families”. The wide acclaim for Frisco’s safety is largely due to its low crime rate.
Compared to the national average of 387 crimes per 100,000 people, your chances of falling victim to a crime are considerably less in this Texan suburb. The city currently enjoys a crime ratio of 75 to 100,000. In 2013, only 100 crimes were recorded in Frisco – an impressive number you will rarely see for a city of over 140,000. Combined with ample job opportunities, a competitive educational system, adequate health care facilities, and low poverty rates, Frisco is a suitable place for living. Add to that a mild climate that lasts all year round! Frisco is also renowned for its conservative environment, making it an even better place to settle down for young families.
