What does Safest cities in United States by recorded crime show?

Lincoln, United States has the lowest recorded incidents per 100,000 residents of the 30 cities compared: 657.1 offences per 100,000 (FBI Crime Data Explorer / Uniform Crime Reporting, 2024-12-31).

How this list is built

Every row is a published recorded incidents per 100,000 residents observation measured in offences per 100,000, ranked lowest first. The values were observed in 2024. A place appears only when it publishes this exact metric, so an absent place means missing data rather than a low value. Only published cities with at least 20,000 residents and city-level observations qualify.

  • Compare the displayed value, unit, source date and geographic grain together.
  • A city label does not change a regional observation into a city measurement.
