Sudbury One of The Safest Places to Live in the Whole Country

Sudbury is tops in a list created by Safewise.

SUDBURY, MA—If you live here, you know this already. Sudbury's a really safe place to live, with little worry about walking the streets, encountering a break-in, or being assaulted.

Sudbury dropped from seven last year to be the 11th 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. Other Massachusetts towns that made the Top 25 were Wayland, Norfolk, Hopkinton, Franklin, Weston and Clinton.

The streets of Sudbury bore witness to Paul Revere's famous horseback ride to alert everyone that, "The British are coming!" Since then, Sudbury has been busy making more history with public safety. Every Friday night, the Sudbury Teen Center opens for teens to come and hang out in a safe and supervised environment to cut down on drunk driving and other dangers. - 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.
