Perhaps the most important question of all, however, is how safe you\u2019ll be living there.<br \/>\nKnowing just how important this last factor is, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\">Movoto Real Estate<\/a> Blog has previously ranked the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/top-ten\/safest-suburbs\/\">safest suburbs<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/top-ten\/safest-mid-sized-cities-in-america\/\">safest mid-sized<\/a> cities in the country, and today we\u2019re moving on to America\u2019s larger cities. Which one came out on top? It turns out that Irvine, CA is the safest, closely followed by these cities:<br \/>\n1. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/irvine-ca\/\">Irvine, CA<\/a><br \/>\n2. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/fremont-ca\/\">Fremont, CA<\/a><br \/>\n3. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/gilbert-az\/\">Gilbert, AZ<\/a><br \/>\n4. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/plano-tx\/\">Plano, TX<\/a><br \/>\n5. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/henderson-nv\/\">Henderson, NV<\/a><br \/>\n6. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/scottsdale-az\/\">Scottsdale, AZ<\/a><br \/>\n7. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/chula-vista-ca\/\">Chula Vista, CA<\/a><br \/>\n8. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/boise-id\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Boise, ID<\/a><br \/>\n9. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/irving-tx\/\">Irving, TX<\/a><br \/>\n10. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/chandler-az\/\">Chandler, AZ<\/a><br \/>\nThree out of the 10 cities are in both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/az\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arizona<\/a>, and two are from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/tx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Texas<\/a>. Just what are these states doing to make their cities so safe? Keep reading to find out and learn more about the method behind our ranking.<\/p>\n<h2>How We Created This Report<\/h2>\n<p>In putting this report together, we started by gathering a list of the 100 most populous cities in the U.S. from the 2012 Census (excluding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/tucson-az\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tucson<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/honolulu-hi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Honolulu<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/columbus-oh\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Columbus<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/toledo-oh\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Toledo<\/a>, as these cities did not report thefts in a way acceptable to the FBI). We then looked at each of these cities in terms of the following criteria, using official statistics from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fbi.gov\/about-us\/cjis\/ucr\/crime-in-the-u.s\/2012\/crime-in-the-u.s.-2012\">2012 FBI Uniform Crime Report<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Murder<\/li>\n<li>Rape<\/li>\n<li>Robbery<\/li>\n<li>Assault<\/li>\n<li>Burglary<\/li>\n<li>Theft<\/li>\n<li>Vehicle theft<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We then divided these crimes into four distinct categories:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Murders<\/li>\n<li>Violent crimes<\/li>\n<li>Property crimes<\/li>\n<li>Total crimes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We wanted to create an equal playing field for both our larger and smaller cities, so we used the number of crimes per 100,000 people annually, rather than the total number of crimes. Then, we ranked each city from 1 to 100 in each category, with 1 being the safest.<br \/>\nFrom there, we weighted the results so that murder, violent crime, and property crime each comprised 30 percent of the final score and the total number of crimes made up 10 percent. The average of these weighted scores was used to determine the safest city.<br \/>\nFor a complete list of all 100 cities and how they fared, head to the bottom of our post; or keep reading as we take a closer look at just what makes each of our top 10 so safe.<\/p>\n<h2>1. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/irvine-ca\/\">Irvine, CA<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/04\/safest-cities\/images\/1.jpg\" alt=\"Irvine, CA\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user &amp;koia&amp;<\/div>\n<p>Irvine, the first of the three California cities in our top 10, placed highly for its low number of overall crimes per 100,000 people, but particularly for its low number of violent crimes. In 2012, Irvine saw a total of just 51 violent crimes per 100,000 people, which included one murder. Additionally, Irvine had 1,519 property crimes per 100,000, adding up to a total of 1,570 crimes per 100,000 people.<br \/>\nFor comparison\u2019s sake, let\u2019s take a look at another California city: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/stockton-ca\/\">Stockton, CA<\/a>. Here, not only were there 1,548 violent crimes per 100,000 people, but 24 of those were murders. Additionally, there were 5,101 property crimes per 100,000, resulting in a total of 6,649 crimes per 100,000 residents. Or, think of it this way: In Irvine, you have just a 1 in 64 chance of being the victim of a crime; in Stockton, your odds are 1 in 15.<\/p>\n<h2>2. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/fremont-ca\/\">Fremont, CA<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/04\/safest-cities\/images\/2.jpg\" alt=\"Fremont, CA\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Charlie Day Daytime Studios<\/div>\n<p>This Bay Area city ranked well for its low number of crimes per 100,000 people; murders in particular. Considering the city\u2019s size of 221,927 residents, one murder per 100,000 people is really quite remarkable. Then again, so is the fact that it only saw 1,945 property crimes per 100,000 people in 2012, giving residents just a 1 in 48 chance of being the victim of any type of crime.<br \/>\nPerhaps it\u2019s all of those Silicon Valley commuters keeping this place low key and safe, or maybe it\u2019s just the influence of being surrounded by such natural beauty; whatever you\u2019re doing (or rather, not doing), Fremont, keep it up.<\/p>\n<h2>3. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/gilbert-az\/\">Gilbert, AZ<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/04\/safest-cities\/images\/3.jpg\" alt=\"Gilbert, AZ\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/alex-campos\/\">Alex Campos<\/a><\/div>\n<p>Located southeast of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/phoenix-az\/\">Phoenix, AZ<\/a>, Gilbert has all of the benefits of being near the capital city without any of the drawbacks (namely, the crime). Of course, with just over 214,000 residents, Gilbert has a population almost seven times smaller than that of Phoenix\u2014which is precisely why we didn\u2019t consider the total number of crimes, but instead focused on the number of crimes per 100,000 people.<br \/>\nIn 2012, Gilbert only had total of 2,084 crimes per 100,000 people, broken down into 139 violent crimes (including one murder) and 1,945 property crimes per 100,000. The most prevalent crime overall was theft, with 1,143 cases per 100,000 people. So, if you\u2019ve been thinking about moving to Phoenix (ranked 48th on our list), perhaps you should take another look at Gilbert. It has the same setting with a lot less crime.<\/p>\n<h2>4. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/plano-tx\/\">Plano, TX<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/04\/safest-cities\/images\/4.jpg\" alt=\"Plano, TX\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Fitz Crittle<\/div>\n<p>Named for the vast, flat plains of East Texas, this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/collin-county-tx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Collin County<\/a> city is by no means flat, as in dull. In fact, in 2005, 2006, and 2011, Plano was named the best place to live in the Western United States by CNN Money\u2014and as our analysis shows, much of that has to do with how safe it is, particularly in terms of its lack of violent crime and murder. With just 130 violent crimes per 100,000 people in 2012, none of which were murder, Plano came in third in the category of violent crimes, and along with Boise, ID, first for its lack of murder. With just 2,487 crimes per 100,000 people in 2012 and a population of 273,816, Plano residents had a 1 in 40 chance of being the victim of a crime.<\/p>\n<h2>5. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/henderson-nv\/\">Henderson, NV<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/04\/safest-cities\/images\/5.jpg\" alt=\"Henderson, NV\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user James Marvin Phelps<\/div>\n<p>Located in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/las-vegas-nv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Las Vegas<\/a> Metropolitan area, Henderson has all of the benefits of being near the City of Lights, without all of the drawbacks, like noise, pollution, overcrowdedness, and crime. \u00a0Focusing on crime, though, the nearby Las Vegas doesn\u2019t even compete with Henderson.<br \/>\nFor example, where Henderson saw just 169 violent crimes (including two murders) per 100,000 people, Vegas had 783 violent crimes and five murders per 100,000 people. Where Henderson had just 2,009 property crimes per 100,000 people, Vegas had 3,138. So, if you want to live near Vegas without the crime that comes with it, go for the place where your chance of being the victim of a crime is just 1 in 46; not 1 in 25.<\/p>\n<h2>6. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/scottsdale-az\/\">Scottsdale, AZ<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/04\/safest-cities\/images\/6.jpg\" alt=\"Scottsdale, AZ\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user That Hartford Guy<\/div>\n<p>Scottsdale ranked among the top 10 on our list for its low number of violent crimes, particularly murders.
