Lol!! I never put a lot of stock into these silly “lists”. One thing I noticed is a bunch of the safest areas in the top 20 are in the middle of nowhere like los alamos, NM. Of course it’s safe! Hardly anyone lives there!

Well, at least you can finally get bragging rights for something other than the worst taxes.

I'm not sure I have much faith in a ranking that would put the Bronx in the top 20 but for a technicality:

"Queens, Kings and Bronx counties all fell within the top 20 but were excluded, as raw data collected for New York City as a whole is split evenly across the city's five counties for three of the seven public safety metrics."

Didn't you see the little asterisk that footnoted those were the police precincts?

Do these numbers include villages like Hempstead and Freeport ? I believe they don’t.

For a perspective on Hempstead.

Moderator cut: link removed, competitor site
The violent crime rate is 4 times higher in Hempstead than Nassau county. So I think not. The property crime is much much higher in Hempstead. Really sad.
