Texans’ concern about safety jumped 6% (to 66%) in our most recent State of Safety survey. Not only is that a bump from the previous year—it’s also 16 percentage points higher than the national average.
But those who call one of Texas’s 50 safest cities home may be less concerned due to significantly lower rates of crime than the rest of the state.

2023 Texas crime rates
Even though Texas’s crime rates are higher than national averages, The Lone Star State boasts the second-to-lowest crime rates in the West South Central region. Texas is below Arkansas, which has the highest violent crime rate in the region at 7.1 incidents per 1,000 people. Texas has 4.6 incidents per 1,000 residents.
And Texas has the fewest property crimes in the region, as well, beating out Louisiana, which has the highest property crime rate in the region at 26.7 incidents per 1,000. Texas sits at 21.9.
That said, the state saw a slight uptick in violent crime this year, rising from 4.5 to 4.6 incidents per 1,000 people. On the flip side, the property crime rate fell from 22.5 to 21.9 incidents per 1,000 people.
