12 East Texas Cities Ranked High on Safest Cities in Texas List
Like most people living here in East Texas I find it to be a pretty great place to live. Obviously, there are going to be annoyances with anywhere you live such as drug activity, but those things happen everywhere. But we all want to live in a safe community and for the most part we are pretty fortunate when it comes to being in a safe place to live. As SafeWise released their list of the safest cities in Texas and 12 East Texas cities made that list.
The reason these rankings were put together is because SafeWise was wanting to highlight the cities with a low crime rate and also start conversation regarding lowering the crime rates in the cities that didn’t do very well on their list.
What Statistics Went Into These Rankings
When putting these rankings together they looked at violent crime numbers per 1,000 people in each city. The violent crimes they took into consideration for these numbers include aggravated assault, murder, rape and robbery. To see so many East Texas towns on this list is a good thing, you can see what East Texas towns made the list by scrolling down.
