Milton named #3 most safe “cities”

According to research compiled by Neighborhood Scout, nineteen of the country’s 100 most safe cities are in the Boston metro region. Four of them are in the top 10, including Milton, coming in at #3, just below Zionsville, IN and Ridgefield, CT.

(Yes, we know Milton is not a city, but this is still a nice stat.)

Milton’s current population is 27,616. The total crime rate per 1,000 residents is 2.7 (unless you’ve had your house egged recently…).

Chance of being a victim is 1 in 368.
