The survey compared all cities with populations of more than 75,000 (except Illinois’), based on rates for six major crimes – murder, rape, robbery, assault, burglary and auto theft – with national averages. Some of the other communities rounding out the Top 25 Safest Cities include Gilbert, AZ, Round Rock, TX, Troy, MI, Amherst, NY and Bellevue, WA.
