*Mountain View Ranks as Safest Suburb*





Neighborhood Photo Summer




Mountain View has been named one of the safest suburbs in the United States, according to personal finance company SmartAsset. The study measured community safety by comparing across different cities the reported rates of violent crime, property crime, motor vehicle deaths, drug overdose deaths and excessive drinking, among other common indicators.

Mountain View was one of four California cities to make the top 20, which also included Palo Alto, Pacifica and Livermore.
