There is no such thing as safe, crime can happen and does happen anywhere. By the way Safest and cheapest don’t usually come hand in hand. “Safer” areas tend to be more expensive.
If you are not referring to rural towns, I do not think there are safe cities that are inexpensive, unfortantely. But if someone is retired (or doesn't mind commuting an hour and a half to work), there will be more options. I think if i had to narrow it doesn, the midwest (WI, IL, IN, OH) would hold more lower cost options than coastal areas, while still being in proximity of some jobs.
I think it is safe to take anywhere in FL off the list. Any cheap town here (that is not rural) has a fairly high crime rate. Unfortunately!
