Frequently Asked Questions: Yukon, OK Crime & Safety (2026)

Is Yukon, OK safe to live in?

Yukon ranks as one of the safest cities in Oklahoma based on 2026 crime data. The city holds an overall crime grade of A-, and when all seven analyzed neighborhoods are examined individually, 100% of them earn either an A or A+ rating — meaning not a single neighborhood falls below the top tier. Neighborhoods like Surrey Hills #2 and Westbury South both achieved the highest possible A+ grade, while Surrey Hills #1, The Meadows at Surrey Hills, Cottonwood Farm, Blue Quail #2, and Westbury North all earned solid A ratings. With a poverty rate of just 9.8% and a median household income of $72,065, Yukon's socioeconomic indicators align closely with its strong safety profile. For families, professionals, and retirees, Yukon's data-backed safety record makes it a compelling choice in the Oklahoma City metro area.

What is the crime rate in Yukon, OK compared to national averages?

Yukon's crime performance is exceptional by national standards. Every one of the city's seven analyzed neighborhoods earned a grade in the A range, with 100% of neighborhoods rated A or A+ and 0% rated B, C, D, or F. This uniform top-tier distribution is rare among U.S. cities of comparable size. Yukon's population of approximately 27,557 residents is spread across a relatively low-density footprint of 400 people per square mile, which research consistently links to lower property and violent crime rates. The city's unemployment rate of 4.2% — hovering near the national average — and a median home value of $144,169 reflect a stable, owner-occupied community where crime deterrents like neighborhood investment and social cohesion are strong. In practical terms, Yukon outperforms the vast majority of U.S. cities its size on every measurable safety metric available in this dataset.

What are the safest neighborhoods in Yukon, OK?

All seven neighborhoods in Yukon's 2026 analysis are classified as safe, but two stand out at the very top with A+ grades:

• Surrey Hills #2 — A+ rating, population of 1,037, median household income of $96,792. One of the most consistently high-performing neighborhoods in the city.
• Westbury South — A+ rating, population of 1,705, and the highest median household income of any analyzed neighborhood at $139,344. This income level is nearly double the citywide median, reflecting a highly stable residential environment.

The remaining five neighborhoods all hold Grade A ratings:

• Surrey Hills #1 — Population 2,280, median income $90,600
• The Meadows at Surrey Hills — Population 173, median income $100,047
• Cottonwood Farm — Population 47, median income $99,933
• Blue Quail #2 — Population 20, median income $102,597
• Westbury North — Population 3,703, median income $79,581 (the largest neighborhood by population in the dataset)

Even the neighborhoods listed under "higher crime areas" in the city's own data — Westbury North, Surrey Hills #1, Westbury South, and Surrey Hills #2 — all carry A or A+ grades, underscoring that "higher crime" in Yukon is still firmly within the safest tier nationally.

Is Yukon, OK a good place to raise a family?

The data strongly supports Yukon as a family-friendly community. Consider the key metrics: a citywide safety rating of Very Safe (A), a median household income of $72,065, a median home value of $144,169 (offering relatively affordable homeownership), and a median rent of $964 — all of which point to a community with financial stability and accessible housing. The city's 4.2% unemployment rate and 9.8% poverty rate are both moderate, suggesting a workforce that is largely employed and economically engaged. With 100% of neighborhoods graded A or A+, parents can feel confident across virtually every part of the city. Neighborhoods like Westbury North — the largest in the dataset at 3,703 residents — and the Surrey Hills cluster offer the combination of community size, income stability, and top-tier safety grades that families typically prioritize when choosing where to settle.

Which part of Yukon has the most crime?

Even in Yukon's comparatively higher-crime areas, the safety grades remain in the top tier. The neighborhoods flagged as relatively higher in crime — Westbury North, Surrey Hills #1, Westbury South, and Surrey Hills #2 — all hold Grade A or A+ ratings. This means that Yukon's "highest crime" areas still outperform the majority of neighborhoods in most U.S. cities. Westbury North, with a population of 3,703 and a median income of $79,581, is the city's most populous analyzed neighborhood and naturally sees more total incidents simply due to its size — but its per-capita crime rate still earns it a Grade A. There are no Grade B, C, D, or F neighborhoods anywhere in Yukon's 2026 dataset, making meaningful crime hot spots effectively nonexistent within city limits.

How does Yukon's income level relate to its crime rate?

There is a clear correlation in Yukon's neighborhood data between higher median incomes and the strongest safety grades. Westbury South, with a median household income of $139,344 — nearly double the citywide median of $72,065 — holds an A+ safety grade. Similarly, Blue Quail #2 ($102,597 median income), The Meadows at Surrey Hills ($100,047), and Cottonwood Farm ($99,933) all exceed the $99,000 income threshold and each carries a Grade A rating. Even Westbury North, the neighborhood with the lowest median income in the dataset at $79,581, still earns a Grade A — suggesting that Yukon's safety is strong across all income levels, not just in its most affluent pockets. This broad-based safety profile, supported by a citywide poverty rate of 9.8%, reflects a community where economic stability and public safety reinforce each other across all seven neighborhoods.
