Insurance group ranks Henderson on 'Safest Cities' list

A new report names Henderson, Nev., as the sixth safest city in the nation.

Insurance Providers released the Top Ten Safest Cities in the United States.

The data is based on three factors: crime rate, likelihood of natural disaster and driving safety.

Henderson makes the list because it has the lowest crime rate of any city with a population of more than 100,000, next to Plano, Texas.

Just 0.2 percent of residents get involved with a violent crime, and the city stays fairly safe from natural disasters, the report said.

Henderson drivers go an average of 9.3 years between accidents.

Mesa, Ariz., was considered the safest city, as locals go an average of 11.7 years without an accident.
