Safest Places to Live in Pennsylvania of March 2024

ElitePersonalFinance
Last Update: March 11, 2023 Living

You might know Pennsylvania as home to Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles, Philly cheesesteak, or other popular culture phenomena. Still, the State of Pennsylvania is much more important than just this.

As a matter of fact, Pennsylvania is one of the oldest US states and one of the 13 original colonies. Before Washington D.C. became the United States’ capital, the President and the Congress were headquartered in Philadelphia. In this state, numerous chapters in the turbulent US history were written precisely: the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution were drafted in Philadelphia. The Battle of Gettysburg was fought in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

At present, Pennsylvania is the 6th most populous state with close to 13 million residents. It has great cities, such as Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, and many medium-sized and small towns and boroughs.

Ranking Criteria

ElitePersonalFinance extracted the latest data from the FBI crime statistics in the United States. We took violent crime as the main criteria. To get our score, we used this formula:

Crime Score = ( Total Number of Violent Crimes / Population ) * 1,000

This way, safer cities got the lowest score, and those more vulnerable to crimes got higher scores.

The cities that did not report crimes to the FBI and those under 5,000 residents were not included in the list.

Crime Score in All Cities in Pennsylvania of March 2024

If your city didn’t make our list, you could see our full list of Pennsylvania cities.

We can’t compare crime rates in small and large cities. That’s why ElitePersonalFinance made a detailed analysis and narrowed the results according to population segments:

  • Under 3,000 Residents
  • 3,000 – 10,000 Residents
  • 10,000 – 30,000 Residents
  • Over 30,000 Residents

(Other sites don’t include places with under 3,000 residents, but we included them.)

These are the results that we got:
