I was surprised to see the Farmers Insurace rating Albuquerque above Boise. Big surprise to me as I would not have thought Alburquerque should have made the top 20 list. Granted I take difference with several other cities on the list too. Your thoughts.

In the article it states a few of the requirements below:

"A high job growth rate and long life expectancy, along with minimal housing depreciation and lack of extreme weather contributed to the area's top rating in the study."

I would say Boise has slipped from its #2 spot due to the poor economy. Our job growth has slowed and we've seen housing depreciation. I feel confident in saying that crime wise, we beat the top five hands down.
