Plymouth Among 'Safest Places' In Massachusetts
Wayland was ranked the safest community in Massachusetts.
PLYMOUTH, MA – Plymouth is one of the safest communities in Massachusetts, according to a new survey. The National Council for Home Safety and Security ranked Plymouth No. 46 on its survey of the 100 safest communities in Massachusetts. Wayland was No. 1.
The survey was based on crime statistics and population data, among other factors. Communities with populations under 10,000 were not evaluated. Massachusetts was ranked the fourth-safest state in the country.
"The state places near the national mean in violent crime, with an average of 3.91 violent crimes per 1,000 inhabitants, yet it fares excellently in property crime: only 15.82 crimes per 1000," the survey's authors wrote.
