Many people dream of calling Arizona home, which is one of the countless reasons folks are moving here at an exponential rate!

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 2018's 20 safest cities in Arizona. The safety tip website compared the most recent FBI CrimeReport statistics from 2016 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.
