PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – WalletHub released findings on Monday from its study on the safest cities in America in 2025 — naming one Oregon city among the top 10 safest.
To determine the cities where Americans “feel the most protected against life’s hazards, including nonphysical forms of danger,” the personal finance platform compared more than 180 cities across 41 metrics. The data ranges from traffic fatalities per capita to the unemployment rate and the percentage of the population that is uninsured.
“When people think about safety in a city, their minds probably immediately go to things like the crime rate, auto fatality rate or risk of natural disasters. The safest cities in America protect residents from these threats of bodily harm and property damage, but on top of that, they also help secure people’s financial safety. Financial safety includes things like minimizing the risk of fraud and identity theft, keeping the population employed and insured, and combating homelessness,” said WalletHub Analyst Chip Lupo.
