Franklin is the safest city in the country with a population of 25,000 or more people, according to a website that tracks data culled from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other law enforcement agencies.
For the past three years, Franklin has ranked at or close to the top of NeighborhoodScout.com’s list of 100 safest cities in the country. Both this year and last, the town of 33,182 people ranked first. In 2012, Franklin was second after Bergenfield, N.J., which has a population of just over 27,000 people.
In compiling its list, the website purports to collect raw statistics from 17,000 law enforcement agencies in the country.
"Once we have this complete and accurate count of crimes for every city in the nation, our analysis takes the total crimes for each city with 25,000 or more people, and divides them by the population of the city, divided by 1,000," according to the website. "This establishes a total crime rate per 1,000 population that is used to compare every city."
