Los Altos Hills is the third-safest small city in California, a recent survey of FBI crime data reveals.
AdvisorSmith, a business insurance research company, bestowed a metaphorical bronze medal on the Hills in a report published Dec. 15. The town fell short of fellow Bay Area locations Monte Sereno, in first place overall, and Tiburon, in second place. Monte Sereno is also considered the safest city of any size in the state, according to AdvisorSmith.
