TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Safety is a top priority for many when considering a new place to live or visit. With low crime rates and a secure environment, individuals in the safest cities can enjoy peace of mind while going about their lives.
From the quiet charm of Vermont to the sunny streets of Idaho, some of the safest cities in the U.S. are scattered across the country. For instance, South Burlington is recognized as the safest city in the U.S., driven by its low crime rates and a strong sense of community safety.
5 Safest Cities in the US
According to recent rankings by Forbes and Fortune, here is the complete list of the five safest cities in the US.
1. South Burlington, Vermont
In the recent Forbes report, South Burlington is named the safest city in the U.S. This laid-back city is renowned for its low crime rate and the lowest pedestrian fatality rate compared to any of the cities in the country.
South Burlington is also celebrated for the balanced blend of scenic landscapes and a secure environment, encompassing a low risk of natural disasters and a high-level financial safety rate of 1.9% of the unemployment rate.
2. Casper, Wyoming
As one of the safest cities in the U.S., Casper’s annual crime rate barely reaches the total number of 31 per 1,000 residents. Best known for the pleasant outdoor atmosphere, this city receives a high score for both pedestrian and neighborhood safety. Residents report feeling secure walking alone at night, a testament to the city’s safe environment.
Among its population, there hasn’t been any report on violent crimes such as murder, rape, robbery, and assault, underscoring Casper’s unharmed and peaceful surroundings.
3. Warwick, Rhode Island
As Rhode Island's third-largest city, Warwick stands out not only for its size but also as one of the safest cities in the U.S. With impressively low crime rates, this coastal city is also known for its minimal risk of natural disasters and strong financial security.
Warwick's proactive community plays a key role in maintaining its safety, as evidenced by the city’s low numbers of violent crimes per capita, including murders and aggravated assaults, along with the lowest theft rates compared to other U.S. cities.
4. Burlington, Vermont
Burlington, another city in Vermont on the list, is revealed to be nearly as safe as South Burlington. Offering a relaxed atmosphere, this small city has low rates of petty crime, safe public transportation, and a low percentage of uninsured residents, making it an ideal destination for women traveling alone. While violent crime remains low, residents and visitors are advised to avoid leaving valuable belongings in cars, as random property crimes may still occur.
5. Boise, Idaho
Boise rounds out the list of the safest cities in the U.S. for 2024, with a low chance of being a victim of 1 in 400 people. With a population of approximately 236,000, this vibrant city stands out as a secure place to live, boasting an annual crime rate of just 14.66 per 1,000 residents.
However, like Burlington, property crimes remain a concern, with a property crime rate of 12.16 per 1,000 residents.
