The cities of the Midwest and east coast have the highest crime rates in the country.
Ridgefield, CT isn’t a city. It is a town.
Were cities in Alaska and Hawaii not considered?
I have personal bias against the Keller PD from a Capital Murder case.
The four detectives in that case were not wanted at the trial by neither the prosecutor nor the defense, hence they were not called.
All four did get promotions after the trial.
Gee, I wonder what all those cities could have in common?
What is the diversity of these safe cities? I likely already know.
I don’t hear much about violent crime in Consitutional carry NH.
Detroit has some of the nicest and safest suburban communities in the country. It’s a shame Detroit drags down the reputation of the whole area. Take out Detroit and Michigan is basically a southern state.
I live in Salado, Texas with a very low crime rate. I have lived here for 25 years and with not one murder or really very serious violent crime. I actually live 3 miles West of Salado in a rural area on lots of many acres for houses. We all know that despite the best efforts of the cops they are many minutes away. My area is armed to the teeth by honest citizens. We have not major crime in my area. In my area are 5 private firing ranges one of which is mine. All in one mile of my home. It gives me comfort. It gives bad guys fear.
We don’t lock our doors, and we don’t lock our cars anywhere in town. Since my city isn’t on the list, I better keep my mouth shut regarding where I live, lest I be overrun with an influx of new residents.
We probably also have a high percentage of gun-toting rednecks. That might have something to do with our low crime rate.
Only 19 cities were west of the Mississippi, FFS!
The answer is simple, go look at the Demographics.
OK, now cross reference that with how “diverse” these places are.
How much does anybody wanna bet they will notice a startling lack of diversity in all 20 of these?
That’s odd...they left out Chicago and New York!
Safety in cities is inversely proportional to the Black population
Political demographic analysis
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.

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."
