Every state has certain areas labeled as safe and other areas marked as dangerous, but those vary as crime rates are constantly changing.

To find some of the safest cities in Missouri, SafeWise reviewed data to determine which areas were the safest for Missourians.

According to the report, in a State of Safety survey, Missouri residents are slightly less likely to worry about their safety on a day-to-day basis compared to most of the U.S.

"While crime rates in Missouri didn't go down as much as in previous years, the state still saw some improvement. The violent crime rate went down from 5.0 per 1,000 people to 4.9 and the property crime rate decreased from 26.5 per 1,000 to 26.4. Missouri had the highest crime rates in the West North Central region for both violent crime and property crime."

The report does say that Missouri has a higher crime rate than most of the U.S. Of all 50 states, Missouri has the eighth-highest violent crime rate and the 12th highest property crime rate.

To determine the safest cities in Missouri, SafeWise reviewed the 2019 FBI crime report statistics and population data.

According to the report, here are the top 10 safest cities in Missouri:

  1. Clever
  2. Vandalia
  3. Savannah
  4. Oronogo
  5. Cottleville
  6. Glendale
  7. Battlefield
  8. Higginsville
  9. Pleasant Valley
