These Are The Crime Grades For Every Metro Detroit Suburb

METRO DETROIT — How safe is your suburb? Data analysis website Niche.com set out to answer that question by assigning crime grades to cities and towns across the country.

The grades are based on a mix of hard data, including FBI crime rates and CDC health statistics, and resident feedback submitted through surveys.

In metro Detroit, most suburbs received a B or B- for crime, indicating average to above-average safety. Many cities also received a C, while just a handful of communities earned an A.

No local community in the report received a D or F grade.

According to Niche, the crime grade is based on more than just police reports. About 38 percent of the score comes from local survey responses. The rest is drawn from federal sources, including data on assault, robbery, burglary, drug-related deaths, excessive drinking, and firearm-related fatalities.
