Safest City In Rhode Island Revealed

Rhode Island's safest city has been revealed.

Consumer research and information company Safewise determined which city was the safest in each American state.

"The 'safest' cities rankings are intended to highlight cities with low per capita crime rates and ignite conversation and action around how to make all cities and communities safer," Safewise explained.

"For the purposes of city ranking reports, the terms 'dangerous' and 'safest' refer explicitly to crime rates as calculated from FBI crime data — no other characterization of any community is implied or intended," according to the website.

Rhode Island's safest city turned out to be Bristol.

The safest cities in other New England States were Northborough, Massachusetts, Eliot, Maine, Ridgefield, Connecticut, Castleton, Vermont, and Strafford, New Hampshire.

"We base our rankings on violent and property crime rates, calculated per 1,000 residents for a fair comparison," according to Safewise, which specializes in home security, personal safety and crime statistics.

"Cities must meet reporting and population criteria to be included, and some states may be excluded due to incomplete data," Safewise said.
