Ranking Methodology

The safety scores and rankings on this page are based on crime data sourced directly from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI compiles national crime statistics through its Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR). Program and the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). These programs compile detailed crime incident and arrest data submitted voluntarily by law enforcement agencies across the U.S.

To create city-level safety scores:

We calculate crime rates based on reported incidents per 1,000 residents.
Rankings focus on key offenses, including violent crimes (homicide, robbery, aggravated assault) and property crimes (burglary, theft, motor vehicle theft).

By relying on standardized, FBI-sourced data, our rankings provide a clear, up-to-date snapshot of public safety. This information can help you make informed decisions about where to live in Texas.
