02/22/2015 – SafeWise Names 30 Safest Cities in Alabama with Hamilton Ranked 20th
Alabama – February 18, 2015 – SafeWise.com released its 30 Safest Cities in Alabama Report this week, honoring 30 cities from 18 Alabama Counties.
To compile this report, SafeWise used the most recent FBI crime data from 2012 to analyze and rank these cities, which all have a minimum population of 5,000 people.
“The Safest Cities Report is used by many first-time homebuyers, apartment hunters and travelers to determine the safest places to buy, rent and stay in Alabama, said Elli Bishop, SafeWise press Liaison. “These cities deserve recognition for the efforts of their citizens, police department and local and state government to make Alabama a great place to live.
SafeWise analyzed crimes from Part 1 of the FBI Unified Crime Report (UCR), which focuses on violent crimes (aggravated assault, forcible rape, murder and robbery) as well as property crimes (arson, burglary, larceny-theft and motor vehicle theft). From there, SafeWise calculated the chances of these crimes happening out of one thousand in order to level the playing field for cities of varying populations. From all of the cities in Alabama, SafeWise narrowed the list down to 30 and assigned rankings according to data provided by the FBI’s UCR report.
SafeWise.com is a community-focused security organization made up of home security experts with more than 75 years of combined industry experience. SafeWise has been recognized by AngiesList, Apartments.com, ForRent.com, Homes.com and many others as a trusted industry leader in home safety and crime prevention. We pride ourselves on providing communities with hundreds of reviews on a variety of America’s top security providers so that you can find the perfect system for your home and budget.
Thank you so much for your time, and please let me know if you have any further questions or want any additional quotes from SafeWise!
