Bedford Named Among America's Safest Places to Live

BEDFORD, MA—If you live here, you know this already. Bedford is a really safe place to live.

Bedford is the 58th safest town in the United States according to the Safewise “100 Safest Cities in America” study.

Safewise is a community-focused security organization committed to increasing safety education, awareness, and preparedness. Massachusetts towns that made the Top 25 were Wayland, Sudbury, Norfolk, Hopkinton, Franklin, Weston and Clinton.

Featuring many historic landmarks, Bedford's Old Town Hall is one of the most famous. To this day, it's still making history as the city's community programming hub. Inside, residents can find the Bedford Center for the Arts and Bedford Community Access Television where they can get involved creatively, socially, and civically. Because of the high level of community involvement, the people of Bedford have been able to help cut down on crime and enrich the city.-SafeWise

To compile this report, SafeWise used the most recent FBI crime data to analyze and rank these cities, which all have a minimum population of 10,000 people.
