The report, based on FBI crime statistics, emphasizes community commitment to safety, while a new campaign aims to deter crime in the region.
If you call Orange County home, there’s a lot to smile about! A recent report has revealed that several cities in this sunny region have earned top spots in the latest 2024 Safest Cities in California list by Safewise. With these rankings based on the FBI’s crime statistics, it’s an excellent time to dive into the details.
Drumroll, please! The report named the top five safest cities in all of California, and guess what? They are all nestled right in Orange County. From the charming Rancho Santa Margarita to the picturesque Laguna Niguel, it’s clear this area takes safety seriously.
All these cities reflected a commitment to community safety that is quite impressive!
Even though the safety rankings are exciting, it’s important to point out that a majority of Californians are feeling a bit jittery about safety. In fact, 64 percent of residents expressed a high daily level of concern for their safety, making it the highest percentage in the nation! This figure has spiked from 50 percent just last year, highlighting that safety is definitely on the minds of many.
Aside from the illustrious top five, here’s how the complete top 10 safest cities stack up in California:
Curiously enough, none of the cities from Los Angeles County made it into this prestigious top 10. It seems that the spotlight is firmly fixed on Orange County!
The Safewise report utilized crime data that covers various areas including violent crime, property crime, gun violence, and even package theft. However, it’s important to note that the FBI has raised caution against ranking city safety based entirely on crime data, emphasizing that other factors can come into play.
And speaking of pushing for safety, Orange County has even launched an advertising campaign that boldly states, “Crime doesn’t pay in Orange County.” This initiative aims to reassure residents and possibly deter criminal activities in the region.
Taking the crown for the safest city in California is Rancho Santa Margarita, which had an estimated population of around 46,182. This charming city has also made headlines by being a filming location forBravo’s “The Real Housewives of Orange County.”
According to MoneyGeek, this city doesn’t just lead in safety rankings but also boasts the lowest societal cost of crime per capita in California at just $91. Its statistics revealed a violent crime rate of 48 crimes for every 100,000 residents and a property crime rate of 433 crimes per 100,000 residents.
As the numbers show, Orange County doesn’t just shine with the sun; it also shines with safety! For residents and visitors alike, this is a reassuring sign that living in or visiting this vibrant part of California can be a lot more secure. While the challenges of safety remain in the minds of many, it’s good to know that these cities are putting in the work to keep those crime numbers down.
