How we rank
The Safety score is 18% of the overall Realust Score. Cities without complete crime data are left off this list rather than guessed at. Every city is scored the same way, from the same sources: the U.S. Census Bureau, Zillow, Redfin, realtor.com, SchoolDigger and Walk Score. The table updates whenever our data does, so the order you see here is current.
