Several Suburban Towns Make Top 50 Safest Cities List
Do you think Naperville should have made this list?
While Naperville did not make a top 50 list compiled by Safewise.com, which ranked the safest communities in Illinois, several other suburban towns did.
Safewise.com used the recent FBI Crime Report along with its own independent research to compile its list. To make the list, a city had to have a population of over 5,000 as of 2012, according to a Safewise.com report.
"We analyze the number of violent crimes (aggravated assault, forcible rape, murder, robbery) and property crimes (arson, burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft) and then calculate the chance of these crimes happening out of 1,000 in order to level the playing field for the different populations of each city," according to the SafeWise Report.
Here is a look at the top ten safest cities, according to the Safewise.com report:
