According to city-data.com the U.S. national average for crime in a city is 319 incidents per 100,000 people which includes rape, robbery, mugging, murders, assaults, arson, auto thefts, etc..
Miami which is a heavily latino majority metro has 608 incidents (per 2011) per 100,000 which is nearly twice the national average.
San Antonio has 451 incidents per 100,000 which is still a significant amount above the national average.
Los Angeles by comparison only has 285 per 100,000 and is more mixed race but with a 48% latino population.
So i'm trying to figure out which cities in the U.S. have lower than the national average crime rates but also have latino majority populations. So far I haven't been able to find any that fit this criteria.
Please don't assume i'm implying something with this question I want to know for investment reasons.
Last recorded crime rate is at 412 per 100,000 which is higher than the national average. It's definitely not safe. Just a few years back it was in the 600's. That's pretty bad.
Phoenix is dang near majority Hispanic. I don't feel like looking up crime statistics but it's pretty safe overall for a city its size.
Actually it is closer to 40% and many of the areas that are predominantly Latino are also pretty high crime areas.
OP, El Paso is worth considering and how about San Antonio? I don't know about the crime rate, I don't think it is as high as some other majority, minority cities.

Well, Miami is a tiny physical entity of less than 36 square miles of land. It's surrounded by a bunch of other adjacent municipalities. One of those, Coral Gables, is both majority Latin and safer than the national average.
53.6% Latin
2011 crime rate: 269.1
