Southlake is an evenbrsafer place to call home in 2017. SafeWise, an authority on security and homebrsafety, released its list of the 50 safest cities in Texas. Southlake climbedbrto No. 25, up from its previous ranking of No. 27. Neighboring towns TrophybrClub and Colleyville topped the list at Nos. 1 and 2, respectively.
To identify the safestbrcities in Texas, SafeWise reviewed the most recent FBI Crime Report statistics alongbrwith population data, eliminating all cities with fewer than 10,000 residentsbras well as any cities that failed to submit a complete crime report to the FBI.
From there, SafeWise evaluatedbrthe remaining cities, narrowing it down based on the number of reported violentbrcrimes and property crimes in each city. To further level the playing field, researchersbrcalculated the likelihood of these crimes occurring out of 1,000 people in eachbrcity.
