The safest cities amongst those considered by NeighborhoodScout are Cincinnati, Ohio, Lauderhill, Fla., Schenectady, N.Y., Sanford, Fla., Huntsville, Ala., Eureka, Calif., Richmond, Calif., Jackson, Tenn., New Haven, Conn., and Tacoma, Washington.

Uh, I don't necessarily believe this. I would never step foot in Richmond, California. I've bought stuff from people in Richmond, but tell them I won't go there. The sellers mention everyone says the same, so we meet halfway to do the transaction in a safer place - in Oakland, California. Lots of black crime in Richmond, makes Oakland feel safe.

I am in Seattle, Washington, and I would agree with putting Tacoma on a safer city list.

Tacoma is much more conservative than Seattle and during the last decade or so many small businesses have chosen to relocate in Seattle.

I saw that Parkland, FLA was number 20 in safest cities.
