Very safe. My sister lived there, very nice and quiet. Not a bad place to live, no crime that I know of. It's a rural farming community set near bigger cities.

I'm also attaching the official website for Cotati. This will provide you with information about the population growth, community developments, local business, etc.

It's a fairly small town (approx 8000) and is located between Petaluma and Santa Rosa. Still has that small-town charm if that is what you are looking for.

Please let me know if I can provide you with any other information. Good luck!
