The data is in and Connecticut as a whole is once again looking pretty safe! Not to mention, we’re also ranking first on the Human Development Index (an average of education, life expectancy, and salaries in all fifty states) is another feather in its cap!
Based on the most recent FBI Crime Report, the state’s overall crime rate is approximately 30% lower than the United States average. Even more impressive is that altogether, the fifty safest cities in Connecticut are 65% safer than the nation as a whole.
It is no surprise that crime rate and cost of homeowners insurance is strongly correlated. Four of the top 10 safest towns with the lowest crime rate have the least expensive average annual homeowners insurance. (Value Penguin).
But enough with these damn percentages, let’s get to the list!
