Irving one of the Safest Places in the Country

When searching for a new home, safety is often the No. 1 priority for many people. Whether you have a family to be worried about, or maybe if you just want to be able to take a walk in the evening without fear, how dangerous a place is plays a major role in whether or not you make that spot your home.

Given that we’re all about helping you find your perfect home here at the Movoto Real Estate Blog, we’re happy to do a little of the work for you. To that end, we’ve used the most recent FBI Uniform Crime Report to find the least dangerous big cities in the nation.

Those safest cities were:

1. Gilbert, AZ
2. Irvine, CA
3. Fremont, CA
4. Plano, TX
5. Chula Vista, CA
6. Chandler, AZ
7. Henderson, NV
8. Boise, ID
9. Scottsdale, AZ
10. Irving, TX

Just because this Texas city was 10th doesn’t mean it wasn’t an incredibly safe place to live. Just looking at the numbers, Irving had the sixth fewest murders per capita, and the 10th lowest violent crime in 2013, with especially few rapes per capita. There were also merely two murders total in the year of our survey, so personal safety isn’t much of an issue here.

The property crime here was a bit higher, but it still fared better than the majority of the nation in that category. On top of that, this place boasted the 18th lowest total crime for 2013. Just another reason Irving is a great place to live.

For one more reason, you can look to the low chance of being the victim of a crime here, at only 1 in 34, which is far better than any of the cities in our bottom 10.
