2025 Allstate America's Best Drivers Report® reveals the safest and riskiest driving cities
ALL
Published on 06/18/2025 at 08:01
Texas tops the safety charts, the Pacific Northwest makes big gains, and Boston returns as America's riskiest driving city in Allstate's 17th annual report.
NORTHBROOK, Ill., June 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- 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.
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."

Methodology
The Allstate America's Best Drivers Report is the result of an in-depth examination of company auto claims data to determine the likelihood drivers in America's 200 most populous cities will experience a vehicle collision compared to the national average. According to Allstate claims data, the average driver in the U.S will experience a collision once every 10.56 years. This year, Allstate researchers analyzed property and collision damage claims reported during the two-year period of January 2022 to December 2023. The report defines a collision as any auto crash resulting in a property or collision damage claim and uses U.S. Census Bureau data to determine America's 200 largest cities. Allstate's auto policies represent approximately 10% of all U.S. auto policies, making this report a realistic snapshot of what is happening on America's roadways. The Allstate America's Best Drivers Report is produced solely to boost the country's discussion about safe driving and to increase awareness of the importance of being safe and attentive behind the wheel. The report is not used to determine auto insurance rates.
