Michigan's 25 Safest Cities In 2019

MICHIGAN — A new report is highlighting the safest cities you can live in in Michigan. Alarms.org has released their annual list of safest cities in Michigan this week and lists the cities that have the least amount of violent and non-violent crimes per population.

The study shows that Michigan has violent crime rates that are above the national average, but property crime rates fall well below that. There are often big differences between the cities, too.

Overall, Michigan is the 11th safest state for property crime. The violent crime rate is, by contrast, above US average (ratio 1.18) with 4.08 crimes per 1,000 versus a national average of 3.47 making it the 34th safest state for violent crime

To find the safest cities in Michigan, the company reviewed the most recent FBI Uniform Crime Report statistics. A total of 7,639 cities were factored into this ranking with populations ranging from 7,639 to 4,007,147. However, they eliminated any cities that failed to submit a complete crime report to the FBI and removed cities with populations under 10,000.

The data from 8,793 law enforcement agencies that represented more 193 million of the US population helped us draw interesting insights between the size of the police force and incidence of crime. More here.
