When you're renting in a busy city, feeling safe at home is a big deal. That's why we set out to find the most secure cities in the U.S. for apartment living. To put this ranking together, we looked at four key factors that affect both safety and quality of life: property crime rates, how many people rent, how often people search for apartment security, and average rent prices. We analyzed 94 major cities to uncover which ones offer the best—and worst—mix of safety, affordability, and renter-friendly living.
