Allstate's 2025 America's Best Drivers Report

On June 18, 2025, Allstate released its 17th annual America's Best Drivers Report, showcasing notable trends in driving safety across the nation. This year, Texas emerged as a prominent player in safe driving, with four cities, including Brownsville, reclaiming its title as the safest city for drivers. Meanwhile, Boston once again fell to the bottom, ranked as the most collision-prone city in the United States.

Safety Leaders in Texas

The report highlights how Texas is leading the safety charge, with multiple cities rising through the ranks over the past decade. Brownsville, TX, leads the pack as the safest driving city, featuring a -25.9% reduced likelihood of collisions compared to the national average. Other Texan cities making the top 20 include Laredo, Corpus Christi, and McAllen, showcasing a strong trend in safe driving across the state.

Boston's Ongoing Struggles

In stark contrast, Boston, MA, is noted as the riskiest city for drivers, with residents experiencing collision rates nearly 3.5 times higher than the national average. The report also reveals that seven out of the ten cities with the highest crash rates are located in the Northeast region, including Washington D.C., Baltimore, and Philadelphia. This alarming statistic attracts attention to the pressing need for improved road safety measures in high-risk urban areas.

Improvements from the Pacific Northwest

Interestingly, the Pacific Northwest saw substantial advancements in driving safety. Cities like Bellevue, WA, demonstrated significant improvements, rising 133 spots since 2015 to secure the title of most improved city. Other notable cities like Portland and Anchorage also showed progress, indicating a trend towards safer roads.

Midwestern Operations

Amidst these findings, the Midwest faces challenges in driving safety. Cities like St. Louis, Des Moines, and Kansas City have witnessed significant declines in safety rankings, raising concerns. This could be indicative of broader trends influencing driver behavior in the region.

Shockingly Escalating Collision Rates

The report illustrates a growing divergence between the safest and riskiest cities. While the average city has seen a small decline in collisions, several cities have experienced a staggering rise in crash rates, by over 25% since 2015. This alarming trend stresses the importance of focusing efforts on safety education and awareness across various cities.

How to Stay Safe on the Roads

Regardless of city rankings, Allstate emphasizes practical strategies for drivers to stay safe this summer:

• - Buckle Up: Ensure every occupant wears a seatbelt to minimize injury risks in case of an accident.
