Safety & Security

The booming greater Austin area has 1.2 million residents and is likely to top 2 million in a decade, but growth has not turned the city into just another cookie cutter town.  Many choose Austin for the lifestyle.  Keeping Austin Weird is a local motto, easily understood by those who live here because it is a city where individuality is prized.

Many national magazines have ranked Austin one of the top and safest places to live in the country. T he people, the climate, the rolling hills and the friendly culture make this city unique and welcoming.  Our citizens are passionate about Austin--and they know how to welcome newcomers and recognize that diversity brings new possibilities.
