A new report determined which small cities and towns are the safest places in America. The analysis was conducted by MoneyGeek so they could, "test the theory that small cities and towns are the safest places in America."
To determine small-town safety in America, MoneyGeek said they "analyzed crime statistics and quantified the cost of those crimes to identify the safest and least safe small cities and towns — those with 30,000 to 100,000 residents."
Out of the 25 safest small cities and towns in America, two are in the state of California:
- Buffalo Grove, IL
- Franklin, MA
- Carmel Town, NY
- Shrewsbury, MA
- Bartlett, IL
- Monroe Township, Middlesex County, NJ
- Long Beach, NY
- Orland Park, IL
- Yorktown Town, NY
- Lexington, MA
- Northbrook, IL
- Parkland, FL
- Middletown Township, NJ
- Upper Arlington, OH
- Bloomfield Township, MI
- Princeton, NJ
- Greenwich, CT
- Lone Peak, UT
- Marlboro Township, NJ
- Fair Lawn, NJ
- Old Bridge Township, NJ
- Rancho Santa Margarita, CA
- Park Ridge, IL
- Mount Prospect, IL
- Danville, CA
Between Rancho Santa Margarita and Danville, the former is considered the safest town in the state of California, with a crime cost per Capita of $78.
