SafeWise ranked cities and towns based on sex offender concentration, state graduation rates, overall school quality ranking, and FBI violent crime data. Of the top 30 safest communities in America, Connecticut was home to a third of them, including Greenwich, Fairfield, Ridgefield, Southington, Westport Simsbury, Cheshire, Milford, and Glastonbury. Farmington, New Canaan, West Hartford, Newtown, Madison, and Darien all received ‘honorable mention.’

SafeWise noted that the safest cities in America for raising a family are in coastal New England towns, where quiet, suburban neighborhoods have less crime, promote healthy and active lifestyles, and enjoy well-funded school systems.
