I’m concerned about crime rates compared to other midsize cities.
Is Champaign a safe place to live?
1 Answer
Champaign has a safety score of 68 out of 100, indicating a moderate level of safety relative to other U.S. cities. Crime tends to be concentrated in specific neighborhoods, while many residential areas experience low rates of violent crime. The city’s police department publishes annual crime statistics on its website, which can help you compare neighborhoods. Additionally, local community watch groups and neighborhood apps provide real‑time safety information. When choosing a place to live, consider proximity to well‑lit streets, active community centers, and the presence of nearby schools, which often correlate with lower crime rates.
A starting point only — it may be incomplete or out of date. Check official sources for anything important, and add your own answer if you know Champaign.
