In a recent study, Nixa came in at #23 on the list of America's Most Trusting Towns in 2023 and was chosen for its low crime rates compared to state and national averages. The overall crime rates in Nixa are around 60% lower than the national average. In terms of violent crimes, Nixa rates are lower than 80% of the national average.
