In a world where safety and security are paramount, finding the perfect place to call home becomes a top priority. Join us on a journey as we uncover the
25 safest cities across South Carolina. From tranquil suburbs to vibrant urban centers, these communities offer not only peace of mind but also a high quality of life.
Where does the crime data come from?
This comprehensive list of the safest and most dangerous cities in South Carolina is backed by credible data sourced directly from the FBI's National Incident-Based Reporting System (NBIRS). By relying on this authoritative database, we ensure that the information presented here is not only accurate but also up-to-date. The FBI's NBIRS system is a trusted source for crime statistics, providing valuable insights into the security landscapes of cities and communities across the nation.
How do we rank the cities?
Our ranking system is based on the total number of crimes reported in each city. We then calculated the crime rate per 100,000 population for each city. The cities with the lowest crime rates were ranked as the safest cities in South Carolina. Conversely, the cities with the highest crime rates were ranked as the most dangerous cities in South Carolina.
To ensure the relevance and accuracy of our rankings, this list includes only cities and communities in South Carolina with a population of more than 5,000 residents. This population threshold allows us to focus on areas where a significant number of people live and work, providing a meaningful perspective on safety for the majority of our readers.
The data presented in this report spans a period from 2012 to 2021. By aggregating information over this decade, we gain valuable insights into the trends and changes in safety and crime rates within South Carolina. This long-term perspective allows us to identify both short-term fluctuations and broader patterns, providing a comprehensive view of the security landscape in the state.
