There are some surprises on this list. All of the locations I'm aware of have one or two things in common. Y'all will figure it out.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Yeah...I figurged it out when I saw all the MA locations. Most of them are 'upper crusty', snotty, Liberal hell holes. I wouldn't set foot in any of them. Heck, it seems that half the list is MA and NJ.

I was surprised by the relative lack of Southern locales.

Any list of “cities” hides too much information. A list of the 100 Most Dangerous Neighborhoods or Zip Codes would be far more useful, though it might present a set of facts that don’t square with the MSM’s agenda.

[Fresh Wind]

Uhh, very few of the places on the list are actually “cities”.

[Gritty]

What is the racial demographic makeup of these 100 most safe cities?

Just askin', but I'd bet my last dollar I know the answer and I would be a winner. It would be just the opposite of the 100 most dangerous cities.

Scrolling through the list a couple of things leapt out. First, why are there so few cities on the list that are West of the Mississippi? Second, Although the criterion is population greater than 10,000, most of the cities are not much over that number with only a handful over 25,000 and only one over 100,000.

The population density factor, to me at least, is self evident but I do not understand why there are so few Western cities on the list.

Kinnelon, NJ (58) has draught bear concerns?

[Verginius Rufus]

There is a surviving red-brick one-room schoolhouse from the colonial period in Ohio? Must have been built by the Indians—white settlement of Ohio began after the Revolutionary War.

technically maybe they're all "cities" but they're mighty small cities population wise, so I don't get anything from this list except the people making it up were from Mass, NY, Pa, Ill, or Ohio.....

don't get me wrong....there are jewels in the east and so many lovely small towns....the bad places for crime like NY and Baltimore and Philly give the east a bad rep....
