Allstate Insurance Company today released its tenth annual "Allstate America's Best Drivers Report[emoji]174[/emoji]." The report, based on Allstate claims data, ranks America's 200 largest cities in terms of car collision frequency to identify which cities have the safest drivers. The report underscores Allstate's commitment to keeping roadways safer for customers and other drivers.
This year, new data uncovers how these cities rank when factors like population, population density and precipitation are considered. For the first time, Allstate is revealing the 10th annual report, new location factor rankings and historical rankings from the past 10 years in an interactive mapping tool found
"A big part of our job at Allstate is to help our customers prevent bad things from happening. With that in mind, our actuaries reviewed millions of records to develop this year's report which presents new data to equip them with better driving awareness tools," said Mike Roche, executive vice president of claims, Allstate. "Allstate is showing drivers that factors like population, a city's density and precipitation may contribute to their driving safety to reveal important lessons on the road."
For the fourth year in the report's history, the top honor of "America's Safest Driving City" is Fort Collins, Colorado. Fort Collins has placed in the top ten every year since the report's inception. This year, the results indicate the average driver in Fort Collins will experience an auto collision every 14.2 years, which is 29.6 percent less likely than the national average of every 10 years.
For each of the location factors Allstate measured in this year's report, the insurer recommends drivers use caution especially when driving under these conditions:
