Safest U.S. Cities

27 March 2003 - 8:00am

CNN/Money's list of American cities with the fewest reported crimes per 1,000 citizens includes some surprises.

"Working with data provider On Board, (we) looked for the cities in America that had the fewest reported crimes per 1,000 citizens. This list only includes cities with a population of at least 300,000, of which 56 are listed in the FBI's crime statistics. (Not all cities report crime statistics every year.) Figures are from data for 2001, the latest year available. These statistics are for the specific municipalities mentioned as defined by the FBI and do not include suburbs or other outlying areas."
