Is Cypress safe to walk?
This page covers traffic crashes, not crime. We don't rate cities as safe or unsafe: crash counts can't say how risky a street is, and busy streets have more crashes partly because more people use them. What the records show: 42 pedestrian crashes were reported in Cypress from 2021–2026, 7 of them serious or fatal. The most were at Dennis St & Ball Rd (3). 45% involved a driver turning, 19% turning left. 55% of the people hit were in a crosswalk at an intersection.
