Santa Ana has been selected as the fourth safest city in the United States of America, by Forbes.
To find America’s 10 safest cities, Forbes looked at metropolises with populations above 250,000. They then ranked them by violent crime rates—the number of violent crimes (murder, forcible rape, robbery and aggravated assault) per 100,000 residents in 2010, as reported by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
They also ranked each city on the traffic-fatality rate per 100,000 residents based on 2009 data, the most recent available, from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. They then averaged the ranking for each city to arrive at final scores. In the event of ties, the city with the lower crime rate got the higher ranking.
Here is the Forbes – America’s five safest cities:
#5 Lincoln, NE
Car fatality rank: 1
Violent crime rank: 16
#4 Santa Ana, CA
Car fatality rank: 4

#3 Honolulu, HI

#2 Henderson, NV

i was held a gun point twice almost got shot by a bullet that was meant for someone else and many more incidents that im not goin to bring up ahah Santa Ana is not safe.
Santa Ana is not a safe city maybe it's gone done in its crime rate based on more poverty struck cities. I have live more then half of my life in Santa Ana and I still remember gun shots every night. Getting a gun pulled to my face just for going to my friends house and where he lived was a safe place.
No doubt. We used to go through that when we lived in the Artesia Pilar neighborhood. The truth is that the SAPD does not report every crime to the FBI. Or to the public. This keeps the numbers artificially low.
