Oklahoma's Safest Towns in 2024

The top 10 safest Oklahoma towns and cities have been ranked, and the top list shouldn't be any surprise.

If you're worried about crime in Oklahoma, here's some really good news. We've really turned things around these last few years. As a state, that's a huge win and completely backward from the everyday hearsay scuttlebutt heard in normal small talk.

Overall, Oklahoma as a whole has fallen from having the 10th-highest violent crime rate nationwide in previous years to 15th on the list. It's not a big move, but it's a good move.

Additionally, and this is the bigger news, the Sooner State has fallen to the middle of the pack in regard to non-violent crime, 25th on the list. Burglary, theft, etc... Given how common it has been in recent years for possessions to walk out of garages in broad daylight, consider it a win.

We are making progress across Oklahoma, but we still have plenty of work to do, according to the most recent FBI crime statistics.

Even more good news, there are several towns and cities in the state that have little to no crime to report.
