The SafeWise Report released its “20 Safest Cities in Massachusetts” report on January 30, 2017. To compile this report, SafeWise used the most recent FBI crime data from 2015 to analyze and rank these cities, which all have a minimum population of 8,000 people.

“In 2015, the twenty safest cities in Massachusetts reported 90% less violent crime than the nation as a whole. None of these cities reported a murder, and one in five cities reported no violent crime at all. These are quite impressive statistics, especially considering that US violent crime increased nearly four percent from 2014 to 2015—with reports of murder and nonnegligent manslaughter increasing 10%.” Said SafeWise security analyst, Alexia Chianis.
