Round Rock Texas is celebrated for its safety and community spirit.
Round Rock, Texas, has been recognized as the 26th safest city in America for 2025, according to a study by MoneyGeek. The ranking is based on FBI crime statistics from 2023, which evaluated 292 U.S. cities with populations over 100,000. Round Rock boasts an estimated societal cost of crime of $575 per resident, significantly lower than the national average. The city also enjoys a low violent crime rate, ranking 19th in the nation. This accolade highlights Round Rock’s commitment to safety alongside other Texas cities also making the rankings.
Round Rock, Texas, is putting its best foot forward as it has officially been named the 26th safest city in America for 2025. This exciting news comes from a study conducted by MoneyGeek, a team of personal finance advisors who dove deep into the data to assess safety across the nation.
The safety ranking was based on a detailed examination of FBI crime statistics from 2023, which looked at 292 U.S. cities with populations exceeding 100,000 residents. It’s a pretty extensive list, but Round Rock has managed to shine brightly among the competition!
According to the data, the estimated societal cost of crime per resident in Round Rock was calculated to be around $575. To put that in perspective, that’s significantly lower than the national average, which sits at a hefty $2,178 per resident. That’s a big win for Round Rock residents who can feel a little lighter in their pockets!
When it comes to violent crime, Round Rock also holds its own. The city recorded only 138 violent crimes per 100,000 residents, placing it as having the 19th lowest rate of violent crime in 2023. For a bit of context, this puts Round Rock in the same category as Coral Springs, Florida (15th overall) and Miami Gardens, Florida (70th overall).
It’s reassuring to know that Round Rock is a safer place to call home, especially when we compare it to other cities nationwide. Just think about it: Oakland, California, had the highest property crime rate with a staggering 10,117 crimes per 100,000 residents. Yikes!
On the flip side, while Round Rock had 2,156 property crimes per 100,000 residents, it still ranks as the 113th lowest out of those 292 cities. Though it may not be perfect, it’s definitely better than many places that are ranked significantly worse.
When taking a step back, it’s easy to see why Round Rock is deserving of its safety accolades. The total cost of crime for the city in 2023 was reported at $70.65 million, ranking Round Rock as the 22nd lowest in total crime costs overall. Not too shabby, huh?
Round Rock is not alone in this accomplishment—other Texas cities are also making their mark. Frisco has snagged the 2nd spot overall, while Plano, Sugar Land, McKinney, Grand Prairie, and League City are sitting pretty in the rankings as well. It’s great to see Texas shining in safety!
Interestingly, Round Rock is the only city from the Austin area to land in these safety rankings. So for those living in nearby Cedar Park and Georgetown, it’s evident that the city has a winning reputation that makes it a desirable place to live.
While these statistics are certainly impressive, it’s essential to note that every number tells a story, and perceptions of safety can vary based on numerous factors. Experts remind us that relying solely on crime rates can be a bit misleading. Always consider the bigger picture when evaluating safety in any area.
In conclusion, Round Rock is strutting its stuff as a highly safe place to call home in 2025. And as the city continues to thrive and grow, it seems that residents can enjoy their days with a little extra peace of mind!
