Here’s where Arizona cities rank among safest and riskiest driving cities

The 2025 Allstate America’s Best Drivers Report reveals that Texas leads the nation in safe driving, with four cities in the top 20, including Brownsville, which reclaims its title as the safest driving city in America. Meanwhile, Boston is once again the most collision-prone city in the nation, where drivers are nearly 3.5 times as likely to be in a collision compared to the national average. And Scottsdale ranks among the 10 safest driving cities in the U.S.

First launched in 2005, this year’s Allstate America’s Best Drivers Report revisits collision data published a decade ago to reveal surprising shifts in driving safety across the country, just as Americans prepare for another busy summer on the roads.

“No matter where you drive, the best way to protect yourself and others is simple: buckle up, stay focused and slow down,” said Sandee Lindorfer, vice president of auto claims at Allstate. “These are three of the most effective ways to prevent crashes, and they cost nothing but attention.”

Driving by the numbers: What the data reveals

East Coast or West Coast: Which is riskier?

• Seven of the 10 cities with the highest collision rates are located in the Northeast, including Boston, Washington, D.C., Baltimore and Philadelphia.
• But don’t count out the West Coast: Los Angeles, Glendale and Oakland, California, round out the 10 riskiest cities for drivers.

Collision rates climb in America’s riskiest cities

• While the average city has seen a modest decline in collisions since 2015, the gap between the safest and riskiest cities is widening.
• Several cities among the 50 most collision-prone cities have seen more than a 25% increase in crash rates since 2015, underscoring a growing divide in road safety.
