One city in Central Texas has a lot to celebrate going into the new decade. Hutto, a mid-size town of roughly 25,000 residents, was just ranked the safest city in Texas per the National Council for Home Safety and Security. We dive into the statistics below, which are all derived from the FBI’s annual Uniform Crime Report.
Hutto is part of the Austin–Round Rock metropolitan area and has a population of just over 25,000. Per the National Council for Home Safety and Security, it was just ranked the #1 safest city in Texas.

Hutto had less than 100 total reported crimes in 2018, which is an incredible accomplishment for a mid-size city. Furthermore, only 11 of those offenses were violent in nature – the rest fell under the ‘property crime’ umbrella.

Only 48 law enforcement employees patrol the streets of Hutto, yet crime is still almost nonexistent. That really says something about the character of the people who call this fine city home.

In addition to being the safest Texas city, Hutto also has bragging rights for something else: pie. Texan Cafe has been voted among the best places in the state to grab a slice, and we can only imagine the influx of tourists will only continue to grow.

Almost two dozen flavors are offered on a daily basis, with even more specialty options Wednesday-Sunday. Coconut creme, sizzling apple with brandy sauce, and Oreo cookie are just a few of the mouthwatering selections. It’s hard to commit a crime when you’re busy eating some of the most delicious pie on earth!

Number two on the list is Fulshear, a Houston-area town that nearly doubled in size from over the last 12 years. It recorded just two violent crime instances in 2018!
