Steiner Ranch Residents Enjoy Living in the Most Secure Metropolitan Area in the Country
The community of Steiner Ranch has much to offer to its residents. Not only is the community in a great location, which makes it possible to easily enjoy the amenities of downtown Austin while also being able to take advantage of the area’s natural beauty, but the level of safety and security that residents enjoy is one more reason why the community is such an attractive place to live. In fact, according to a study that was recently conducted by Farmer Insurance Group of Companies, the Austin-Round Rock area is actually the most secure large metropolitan area in the country.
The survey, which included 379 large metropolitan areas with populations of 500,000 or more, placed the Austin-Round Rock area in the number one position of the “Most Secure U.S. Places to Live” in its recent survey based on all of the following factors:
· Air quality
· Crime Statistics
· Environmental hazards
· Extreme weather conditions
· Foreclosure
· Housing depreciation
· Job loss
· Life expectancy
· Risk of natural disasters
· Terrorist threats
When looking more specifically at just the nearby city of Round Rock, the FBI recently listed the city as the number one safest city to live in the United States with a population of 100,000 or more and in the number 18 position when considering cities with populations of 75,000 or more. Of course, this isn’t the first time the city of Round Rock has been included on this list. In fact, in terms of cities with populations of 75,000 or more, Round Rock came in the number 19 position in 2008, number 13 in 2007 and 2006 and number 8 in 2005.
For Steiner Ranch residents, living next to the city of Round Rock and within the city of Austin, both of which enjoy high rankings in terms of safety and security, certainly provides peace of mind. Pair this fact with the fact that the children of Steiner Ranch enjoy excellent educational opportunities and plenty of activities to choose from throughout the community and it is easy to understand why so many are proud to call Steiner Ranch home.
