Whether you're looking for a city to start your family or a neighborhood to simply call home, you want to be aware of the crime rate.

SafeWise.com released a report detailing 2017's 20 safest cities in Arizona. The safety tip website compared the most recent FBI Crime Report statistics from 2015 with population data. Cities were eliminated if they had less than 2,000 residents and if they failed to submit a complete crime report to the FBI.

The primary factors in question were number of reported violent crimes (murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault) and property crimes (arson, burglary, motor vehicle theft, and larceny-theft) in each city.
