We all wish for nicer things in life. Love, safety, and happiness are the most important things to everyone.
People in America don’t have to worry about safety very often, but not everyone lives in the safest places. Unless you live in Naperville, of course.
Find out which American towns are the safest places to live by reading this post. Saturday Night Science lets us look at the most recent FBI crime data on crimes per person in big towns and compare it to this data.
This is the list of the safest places in the United States for 2024, based on our research of 312 cities with more than 100,000 people.

Greetings from Naperville. What a peaceful and safe location. For a community of this size, the rate of violent and property crimes is about as low as it gets; the odds of becoming a victim of a serious crime are one in 1,300.
A suburb of Chicago is Naperville. However, this is not at all like Chicago. Nooo. 1,400 individuals were shot in Chicago last year. Not to mention the number of gunshots, there were just half as many car break-ins in Naperville last year. Your kids have to rush home from school every day if they live in Chicago.
You can be sure that someone in Naperville would assist out no matter what if it was a missing dog, an elderly woman, or even Kathy Griffin.

5. Allen, TX
Allen, Texas is the fifth safest place in the United States. So quiet. Allen is another town outside of Dallas. It’s pretty much right next to Frisco. For every 1,200 people who live here, a crime will happen to them. It’s a big deal when someone gets rubbed out here. Since 2002, only five people have been killed here.
People in Allen cheer for their neighborhood sports teams. Everyone works together to help each other. You can be sure that people who live in Allen are proud of what they’ve done. Some people in Allen don’t have to worry about the things you and I do. Like having our car broken into while we’re at the club. Or getting hurt because we talked to the wrong girl.
Allen doesn’t seem to fit that way of life at all. You should feel lucky if you live there!
6. Port St. Lucie, Florida
- Number of people: 228,855
- Rank: 10 (Up 4) Last Year
- Crimes against people per 100,000: 116 (18th best)
- 761 property crimes per 100,000 people (5th best)
Port St. Lucie is the sixth safest place in the United States, and everyone wants to live there.
About 228,000 people live in the town, so they will have to keep Port St. Lucie a secret so that crime doesn’t go up because people are breaking down doors to get in.
7. Thousand Oaks, CA
- Number of people: 124,862
- Rank: 3 (Down 4) Last Year
- Crimes against people per 100,000: 57 (3rd best)
- Property crimes per 100,000 people: 1,106 (22nd best)
There’s good reason for Thousand Oaks to feel safe. There are a lot of jokes we could tell about how safe Thousand Oaks is. To give you an idea, there is a 1 in 131 chance that you would be a victim of a bad crime in nearby Los Angeles. It’s much less likely to happen here in Thousand Oaks—about 1 in 750.
And if you lived in LA, bad guys would probably live next door to you.
