Vacation memories should include sunsets and souvenirs, not police reports. If you're choosing your next getaway, it might be worth considering how often property crimes happen while tourists are in town. Using FBI data from the summer of 2024, Vivint ranked 25 popular U.S. vacation destinations based on rates of burglary, larceny, and motor vehicle theft.
According to Vivint’s analysis, these are the safest summer destinations in the U.S. and the ratio of crimes to population during the peak summer travel season:
Park City, Utah (136 crimes per 100-thousand residents)
San Diego, California (139)
Santa Barbara, California (139)
Charleston, South Carolina (156)
West Palm Beach, Florida (158)
Boston, Massachusetts (181)
And these are the riskiest destinations in the U.S.:
Honolulu, HI (442 crimes per 100-thousand residents)
Seattle, WA (415)
Philadelphia, PA (408)
Denver, CO (401)
Nashville, TN (398)
San Antonio, TX (394)
The analysis also reveals:
Honolulu's overall rate was more than three times higher than Park City's, mostly because of a high number of thefts.
Miami saw the largest increase in property crime since 2022, climbing 60%.
West Palm Beach had the biggest improvement with a 34% drop.
Several California destinations, including San Francisco and Santa Barbara, also saw declines.
The numbers also highlight a few surprises. Even though Honolulu is one of the riskiest destinations on the list, its property crime rate has improved significantly since 2022.
Kansas City also stood out by recording the highest rate of motor vehicle theft among the destinations studied, making it a good reminder to stay alert and lock up your vehicle.
Wherever your travels take you, a little awareness can go a long way toward keeping your trip safe. Pack your sunscreen, keep an eye on your belongings, and you’ll have the best chance of coming home with nothing but great memories.
