The 10 Safest Cities In Kansas For 2024

The 10 Safest Cities In Kansas For 2024

1. Eudora

Eudora, Kansas, has a violent past. In the pre-Civil War days, proslavery and antislavery forces battled it out in a conflict that has become known as "Bleeding Kansas." Eudora was among the communities impacted by this struggle.

Nowadays, the situation in Eudora is much improved. In fact, the town now stands as the number 1 safest place to live in Kansas for 2024. Out of a population of 6,480, Eudora had just 5 violent crimes during the year.

Overall, the town's crime rate stands at 509/100k people. Comparing that with other communities statewide, Eudora comes out as the second safest healthiest crime rate in Kansas.

Tonganoxie may have a funny name, but the city is dead serious when it comes to safety. And the dedication shows; Tonganoxie wasn't even in the top 10 safest cities in Kansas last year, but now it's nearly the safest city in the whole state. Tonganoxie has an especially low property crime rate compared with the rest of Kansas, not to mention experiencing only a handful of violent crimes in the last year of available data.

I mean, nobody here has the time to commit crimes with all the activities you can do at Chieftain Park. Weird name notwithstanding, Tonganoxie really deserves this silver medal in safety.

Tonganoxie is a part of the Kansas City metro area.

Basehor is an affluent Kansas City-burb and it's our third safest city in Kansas for 2024.

You won't hear guns a-poppin' and see fists flying unless maybe there is a scuffle over a putt on one of the areas many golf courses. This city in Leavenworth County offers a Kansas City vibe with a laid back suburban feel. There's a true sense of community in Basehor, and education is a top priority.

So grab the family, pack the truck, and get a-moving soon so you don't miss out any of their safe, family friendly activities scheduled for 2024.

4. Haysville

Haysville, a serene suburb of Wichita, situated in Sedgwick County, Kansas, upholds a remarkable safety record with its low crime rates, securing a 5 spot in violent crime and an impressive 9 place rank in property crime statewide. The absence of murder in 2024 underscores its reputation for safety. With a crime per capita at 1,246/100k people, Haysville is recognized as the fourth safest locale in Kansas, reflecting the influence of both its 11,308 population and proximity to Wichita on its low crime incidents.

5. Gardner

Where Kansas State Road 35 meets Kansas State Road 56 is our fifth safest city in Kansas for 2024: Gardner.

This city, with close to 24,497 residents in Johnson County, should also be called the 'The Best City to live in Kansas,' because all is crazy safe and super fine in this land where 'the tall sunflowers and wheat grow".

And kudos to this fly-over city. Their snackability rating is off the charts with low crime and high safety scores.

6. Ulysses

It might not be Oz, but this little city with a vibrant melting pot of corn and soybean farmers, unforgettable summer festivals, and endless fun, is just as notable and just as safe. Probably why it's one of the most populous cities in Grant County, and definitely why it's our sixth safest city in Kansas for 2024.

Ulysses is the kind of place where one can safely cruise the roads on ATVs, lawnmowers, and trucks with gun racks. It's also the kind of place where packages from Amazon won't get stolen from your front porch. But if they do, it was probably an Iowa Hawkeyes' fan. Hey Iowa, this is Jayhawk country!

7. Spring Hill

Spring Hill, part of Johnson County county, is recognized as the seventh safest city statewide. This area recorded 0 murder incidents and maintained a minimal 13 violent crime figure relative to its population of 9,024. With violent and property crime ratios significantly lower than state levels, safety remains a hallmark of Spring Hill.

The city's commitment to security is highlighted by its impressive rankings, holding the position of ninth safest in violent crime, complemented by an equally commendable rank of tenth safest in property crime. These factors, along with a nonexistent murder rate, solidify Spring Hill's image as a bastion of safety in the Sunflower State.

Goddard is ranked as the eighth safest city for 2024, with an impressive record of 0 murder incidents and low violent crime at only 8 reports.

Founded in 1883 and incorporated in 1910, the city merges the tranquility of small-town life with the advantages of suburban living, thanks to its proximity to Wichita. Property crime is also minimal, with just 45 occurrences reflecting a low 896/100k people rate of property crime per capita.

9. Valley Center

Valley Center's slogan should be "Where It's Happening". Not only are they a super cool, super safe city in the Arkansas River Valley of Sedgwick County, they have a boat load of burger shacks, and at least one store where you can legally buy guns.

More importantly, VC scored a strong 8/10 safety ranking with an emphasis on available jobs and education. We think they are definitely deserving of our ninth safest city in Kansas for 2024.

10. Andover

Andover, the most populous city in Butler County near Wichita, had 21 violent crimes and a mere 6.312334301224592e-05 murder rate. The town's property crime rate of 1,287/100k people, including 20 incidents of burglary, supports Andover's reputation as the tenth safest city in Kansas for 2024.
