Is San Antonio safe?
We don't rate cities as safe or unsafe. What the FBI's numbers show: in 2025 the violent crime rate the San Antonio Police Department reported, 532.4 per 100,000 residents, was higher than Texas's 344.9, and higher than the US rate of 327.6 (FBI estimates). It fell 12.1% from 2024.
What these numbers can't tell you:
- How crime differs between neighborhoods (the FBI publishes agency totals only).
- Crimes nobody reported to the police.
- How many offenses involved visitors and commuters, who are not in the population count.
