According to a Gavop study, homeowners in Glendale, Arizona, pay an average homeowner's insurance rate of $850 per annum.

The city has a relatively higher crime rate compared to communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities in the United States. About 1 in 20 properties are the targets of crime in Glendale.

According to 2018 year-end crime statistics, 12 murders were reported in Glendale. About 91% of Arizona neighborhoods have a lower crime rate than that in Glendale. Violent crime statistics significantly vary by neighborhood- economically developed areas and those with higher education levels tend to have lower crime rates.

The neighborhoods of Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, and Palos Verdes Estates have been identified as the safest in Glendale. Hermosa Beach has a median home value of $124,849 while Manhattan Beach and Palos Verdes Estates have median home values of $148,899 and $189,815, respectively.

On the other hand, Tropico has one of the highest crime rates and is considered one of the most unsafe neighborhoods in Glendale. The neighborhood of Pacific Edison is also considered dangerous.

Suncity in Glendale is the area with the highest education rate; more than 22% of its residents have at least a bachelor’s degree. Gavop finds that Glendale homeowners can lower their homeowners’ insurance costs by installing safety features on their properties. For instance, installing deadbolt locks can earn Glendale homeowners a discount of $87 on their homeowner's insurance. Homes with burglar alarms (e.g., smart alarm sensor, indoor and outdoor cameras, smart locks, and sky control panel) may qualify for an additional discount of $105. Fire extinguishers can get Glendale homeowners a discount of about $81.
