I want some of whatever these guys were smoking when they ranked Danbury, CT among the safest places to live.
They must have included the neighboring towns, because Danbury itself is not a very safe place...

I guess it's good that my hometown's metro area is too small to be ranked. I wonder what the methodology is for this...depending on the company, it could be skewed for certain factors.
I didn't realize this was the same company who did the "Smartest State" and "Healthiest State" lists.

According to their methodology page (scroll up for the link), Chicago and other Illinois cities were eliminated because Illinois uses a different method for calculating rape statistics than other states use.

Yeah! I've never been so proud to live in metro St. Louis. I'm going to go lock my doors now and call my insurance agency.

**** From the website ****
Chicago and Other Illinois Cities: For several years, rape numbers submitted by cities in the state of Illinois have not met the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) guidelines. This remains the case with 2001 crime data. According to state statisticians, the state of Illinois tracks "sexual assault," which includes not only female rapes, but also offenses such as male rape, sodomy, etc. For these reasons, Chicago and other Illinois cities once again are not found in this year's Safest City rankings.
Other Cities: Below is a list of cities that the

I was wondering at first why chicago wasn't on the list, but this gives an explanation for it.

My city wasn't on there... It's generally pretty safe. We had an armed robbery thing a few weeks back.. I did a story on it for the news station. The Public Info Officer tells me that the guy didn't get held up... He had just confessed to cleaning out the cash drawer and then reporting a robbery.
