The company analyzed the most recent FBI data on crime rates and ranked the top 100 safest cities in America. The rankings were based on the total crime rate in 7,000 cities across the country. The total crime rate is all crimes such as violent crimes (murder, rape, assault, etc.) as well as property crimes (burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson).

The rankings were based on crime stats per 100,000 people and violent crimes were weighted more versus property crimes and non-violent crimes for the study.
