MICHIGAN — Wondering which communities in Michigan are the safest to live in? A new study has included nine cities from the Mitten as their 101 safest cities in America for 2019.

SafeHome.org released the study and said they “analyzed data from the FBI to statistically find out which cities are the safest in the nation.”

That’s not all they took into account. Here’s more from the study:

“The FBI data is compiled from the information provided by 13,366 law enforcement agencies. We also used the Chapman University Survey of American Fears to highlight the crime rates of what Americans fear most, between violent crime and property crime rates. This is largely the reason why home security system purchases are on the rise."

Here’s How Michigan’s cities ranked:

• No. 6: Rochester Hills
• No. 12: West Bloomfield Township
• No. 42: Farmington Hills
• No. 46: Royal Oak
• No. 47: Shelby Township

• No. 56: Novi
• No. 67: Canton Township
• No. 84: St. Clair Shores
• No. 98: Sterling Heights

New Jersey had the most safest cities, with 18 cities in the op 101 safest cities. California was next with 17 cities, followed by Illinois with 11 cities, most of which were located in the suburbs of Chicago, according to the report.

Many of the cities had very close scores — so close that their rankings could swap in the next year, Safehome.org said.
