Davis residents can rest easy as the city ranked 33rd on a recently released list of California’s 50 safest cities of 2019.

The report, by review and comparison website SafeWise, used FBI uniform crime reporting data and cities’ population size to determine which were the safest.

While Davis was the only Yolo County city to make the top 50, Woodland came in at 114 and West Sacramento at 146 on an extended list that went to 229 — Oakland.

“Our rankings are based on the number of reported violent crimes (aggravated assault, murder, rape, and robbery) in each city. If there was a tie, we also factored in the number of property crimes (burglary, arson, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft),” SafeWise staff said in a statement which explained the rankings. “We give precedence to violent crime because it typically results in physical harm or injury, whereas property crime usually has an economic impact. While both are concerning, people are usually more afraid of violent crime, which directly impacts their feeling of safety.”

Only cities with populations above the state’s median are included. Those that don’t submit the FBI UCR reports, or turn in incomplete data are also left out.

This year’s rankings are based on 2017 FBI records (the most recent available).

“We calculated the rate of crimes per 1,000 people in each city,” the company said. “This makes it easier to directly compare the likelihood of these crimes occurring in cities with vastly different populations.”

According to the report, 60 percent of the safest cities are in Southern California, however Danville was named the “safest city.”

Another interesting tidbit — that 92 percent of cities had lower property crime rates than both state and national averages.

Still, property crime is the most concerning safety issue among Californians (even more than violent crime), according to SafeWise’s “State of Safety” report.

This may be a valid fear, even in “safe” cities like Davis.

On Monday, Davis Police posted on the department’s Facebook page warning residents that seven car burglaries had been reported on the west side of town in the first 11 days of March. Items like backpacks and electronics were taken.

Other cities from the Sacramento-region that appeared on the top 50 list include Folsom (8), Lincoln (13) and Rocklin (16).
