The best predictor of crime and dangerousness of any town, city, or neighborhood is how many blacks live there. No matter what anyone says, blacks are a high-crime population.

-—towns-—
Yes, but....
The subject is not safe places. The thread subject is cities,
Bingo, in a nutshell.
Remove black crime stats in the US and the US crime rate is lower than all of Europe...
“No matter what anyone says, blacks are a high-crime population.”
That is not everywhere though.
Attitude is also a thing
“Gee, I wonder what all those cities could have in common?”
In Texas Chamber of Commerce pictures on the internet don’t show the two-user gallows right behind the local police station. The ‘Judge Roy Bean’ justice system is a significant factor in the keeping of the peace in some places.

Bessemer has been a Black majority city for its entire existence back to the 19th century. I'm sure there is no mention in this article that virtually all of these "safe cities" have "no diversity." More "diversity", more "dying."
Merrimack NH is a great place to live. Moved here 30 years ago. Never worried about locking the car or the house -— though my wife who moved from a high crime city in Massachusetts locks everything.
When I first moved in I loved reading the police blotter entries such as squirrel in garage, driving old man walking home from grocery store, and tree limbs blocking driveways.
I think I recall only 1 or 2 murders in the time I’ve been here - domestic violence. Very little theft or vandalism.
Of course the town council, school board, and reps state level have been consistently right except for a brief period around the time I first moved in when a bunch of lefties snuck in to the school board. We still have a few lefties here and there get elected, but not enough to ruin the town.
I once had to replace a camera in the holding area of the Bessemer Police Dept. Got there 8 AM on a Tuesday morning and was told I’d have to wait until they processed all of the arrestees who were in the tank. I didn’t get in until almost lunchtime because they had more than a dozen who had been arrested on a TUESDAY night.
That’s about a month’s worth in my local town of slightly higher population than Bessemer.
Please enlighten me as to the exception.
There are no communities in California formally designated as towns or townships, although apparntly there onc were. Communities are either cities or unincorporated.
That’s interesting. Connecticut has no “unincorporated” areas. Everything is part of a city or town. Since 1960, counties in Connecticut have existed only as geographical regions, without their own independent government.
Interesting. I grew up in West Whittier, an unincorporated community. Our police, fire protection, libraries, etc. were provided by Los Angeles County.
But it turned out to be true. Not only Ridgefield but the surrounding towns of Wilton, Redding, Easton, Bethel, Newtown, New Canaan, Westport (among others) are virtually crime free. Even Danbury (population 90,000) is pretty quiet for that size city.
I ended up in Newtown because I could not resist the bargains up there. A million dollar home in Ridgefield will run $600k in Newtown with about the same low crime rate. In fact, my wife and I often joke about the "cat-up-a-tree" police blotter that gets published in the Newtown Bee. Almost everything on the police log is a fender bender or a car running into a telephone pole or tree.
This entire area of Western CT would be the perfect place to live if not for the taxes and the Leftist Democrat government that somehow dominates this state. Thanks to the high population Democrat run hellholes of Bridgewater, Waterbury, Hartford, New Haven, no doubt.
That said, this is an area where you can still leave your doors unlocked and walk the streets at night with no worries.
All of the towns you named are safe, the "cat up a tree" and the odd fender bender leaves cops here, with a lot of time on their hands and the populace safe as can be.
House prices are also up there, vis-a-vis a few of the others towns, in Wilton, Westport, and New Canaan.
When we moved to Ct., it was NOT as "lefty" and had NO incometax.Sadly, that changed in short order, after we had been here for a while.
