Nevermind. I Googled http://www.safewise.com/safest-cities-america and got it that way.
All but a handful are east of the Mississippi. That makes no sense.
I agree.
The data is from alarm activations and other “research” by an alarm company.
Notice that there are no cities in Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Idaho, West Virginia, Iowa, or Wyoming, and only one from Utah.
People in those states don’t need alarms.
Very heavily Northeast. I would guess that most of these burgs are heavily white and heavily old money.
These are more like towns than cities. Only 2 in the top 50 come near a population of 40,000
1) Hibbing, Minnesota: 95.9% White, 0.6% African American, 0.9% Native American, 0.4% Asian, 0.3% from other races
2) Upper Providence Township, Pa: 86.6% White, 3.5% Black or African American, 0.1% Native American, 7.9% Asian, and 1.5% were two or more races
3) Zionsville, Indiana: 94.0% White, 1.2% African American, 0.1% Native American, 2.7% Asian, 0.5% from other races
4) Ridgefield, Connecticut: 96.12% White, 0.62% Black or African American, 0.09% Native American, 2.08% Asian, 0.03% Pacific Islander, 0.36% from other races
I just can’t seem to find a correlation!
Name the top 100 cites with the highest percent of crackers.
Very heavily tilted to the East Coast: CT, MA, NJ, PA and NY all seem over represented.
100 Most White Non-Hispanic Cities in America
There, fixed it.
Money is one of them.
The other is, “Diversity is our Strength” /sarcasm.
these are all towns with populations mostly under 30K in the 10 to 15k range.
Someone might need to tell the author the difference between town and city.
The former is a 'burb of Allentown, the later of Pittsburgh.
It would probably be a more meaningful list if they divided it into categories (under 30K, 30K-60K, 60K-120K, 120K to 250K, over 250K).
Like Murphy, TX. It’s not really a “town”. More like a housing subdivision.
None in the South really.
Sorry, I’m calling BS on this list. There are 17 cities in Pennsylvania. Seriously? 19 in New Jersey. 8 in Massachusetts.
That is 46 cities in just 3 states.
Meanwhile, not a single solitary city in Virginia or Wyoming or Montana, Alaska, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Kansas, Nebraska, Louisiana, Rhode Island, West Virginia, Florida...
I can go on all day. Texas is huge and they list 1 single solitary city among the top 100.
This list is pure bullcrap from the get go. I don’t know their agenda but it is like they are just supporting the states that bought their service or some such crap.
What a bogus pant load.
OK, math error. 44 cities in 3 states.
Still, 44 of 100 safest cities are all in just 3 states with New Jersey being one of them and Taxachusetts being another. Sorry, don’t buy it at all.
Crappola list.

Agreed ..... if you look at how they determined this, lots of room for "manipulation" .....
.... our SafeWise security experts have collected and analyzed the most recent FBI crime statistics from all over the nation. We then paired the data with our own research that highlights each city's public safety, public health, and educational information, resulting in 2015's 100 Safest Cities in America.
How We Rank the Cities:
SafeWise carefully calculates its safety rankings by analyzing and weighting the total number of crimes of a given city in relation to its population and other significant factors. All American municipalities with more than 10,000 residents were considered. SafeWise then identifies relevant safety, health, and educational information and programs that help make each Safest City more secure.
...
Lots of room for fudging toward liberal nonsense.
The Pittsburgh region enjoys some of the most affordable and stable housing prices in the nation.
