Do You Live in One of Idaho’s Safest Cities?

A new list of top 5 safest cities for 2016 has just been released. Only one city in the Treasure Valley made it. Congratulations to Rexburg for being #1.

According to BackgroundChecks.org, Idaho is the 14th largest and 7th least densely populated state, with Boise being both its capital and largest city. Boise by the way did not make the top 5.

The list was compiled based on FBI violent crime stats and proprietary BackgroundChecks.org research data.  Rates are per 100,000 residents with the state average being 212 for violent crime and 1,855 for property crime.

The state has a strong agriculture industry, producing more than a third of the country’s supply of potatoes, but also participates in lumber, food processing, and technology.  There are plenty of reasons to want to move to or live in the beautiful Gem state.  If you’d like to settle in Idaho, take a look at the link below to view the five safest cities in Idaho with their respective descriptions.
