City of Havre de Grace issued the following announcement on June 25.
“This bayside town has been recognized multiple times as one of the best small towns in the country, and it caught our attention with its excellent schools, abundant parks, and family-oriented values. Havre de Grace wants all kids to feel included, as evidenced by an all-access playground unveiled in August 2017.”
Keeping kids safe is a parent’s top priority, and despite crime rates being lower overall, the 24-hour news cycle can make you feel like trouble is lurking around every corner. The good news is that national crime rates are lower than they were when most of us were growing up. In fact, violent crime dropped by nearly 50% between 1993 and 2016.
But that doesn’t mean you’re not going to worry. That’s why SafeWise wanted to take a closer look at safety trends and factors before picking this year’s safest cities to raise a child. Due to recent news about free-range parenting—Utah even passed a law—we decided to factor that parenting style into our research. We dug deep into eight factors to help us identify the safest cities to raise children—those who remain under close supervision and those who are allowed to wander on their own.
