The Fourth Safest City in U.S. is in Indiana

Apparently, one of the safest cities in the country can be found right here in Indiana, and it may or may not be the one you'd expect.

When you think of Indiana overall, you don't really associate it with crime. Sure, criminal acts happen all of the time, but that's not typically the stereotype that goes with Indiana. I mean, Indiana isn't even one of the top ten most dangerous states in the country. That being said, we still see so much on the news about crime, and the increasing amounts of criminal activity across the state. It makes you stop and take a look at your area and wonder how safe it actually is. Well, as it turns out, Indiana is home to one of the safest cities in the entire country.

Money Geek analysed 292 American cities with populations over 100,000. The report combines statistics from the Federal Bureau of Investigation with academic research. The cities were ranked by the societal cost of crime per capita (per person). In addition, the report highlights the number of violent crimes and property crimes per 100,000 residents in each city.

Indiana City Among the Safest in the Country

Coming in at number four on the list from Money Geek is Fishers in Hamilton County, Indiana. Fishers is located just north of Indianapolis, with a population of just over 100,000, making it one of the smallest cities on the list.

According to Money Geek, Fishers has a low violent crime rate of 99 incidents per 100,000 residents, a property crime rate of 609, and a crime cost per capita of $337. The Indiana city follows behind Irvine, California, Frisco, Texas, and Ramapo Town, New York.

Being the fourth safest city in America speaks volumes about Fishers. You can take a look at the full report of the safest cities in America for 2025 by clicking here.
