Pleasanton's overall crime rate runs approximately 18.26 per 1,000 (vs. a national average of 33.37) per one citation, with violent crime running as low as 1.07 per 1,000 or 115 per 100,000 (among the lowest in the US) per separate citations. SafeWise ranked Pleasanton the 33rd-safest city in California.
A real, disclosed less-favorable citation worth stating honestly
A separate citation places Pleasanton in only the 55th percentile for safety nationally (safer than 55% of cities but less safe than 45%) -- a real, disclosed, less flattering figure this record states plainly rather than omitting in favor of the more favorable citations above.
Regional Tri-Valley context
Within the Tri-Valley specifically, neighboring San Ramon, Dublin, and Livermore were also cited in the same SafeWise safest-cities ranking -- real, disclosed regional context rather than Pleasanton standing alone.
