Survey Names The Safest Places To Live In Tennessee

A recent survey by a real estate organization says that Tullahoma and Manchester are two safe places to live in Tennessee.
According to a recent survey the Movoto Real Estate blog, an online real estate brokerage company located in California. Tullahoma ranks as the 18th safest town and Manchester ranks 43rd safest town. The blog has been recognized for its approach to city-based research by major news organizations such as Forbes.
The survey is based on FBI crime figures for 2012. They looked at several points of data for cities in Tennessee that have a population greater than 10,000 people. They looked at property crimes per capita such as burglaries, thefts and motor vehicle theft. They also looked at violent crimes per capita such as murders, rapes, robberies and aggravated assaults, as well as the chances of being the victim of a crime.
Germantown was selected as the safest place in Tennessee.
The survey ranks Shelbyville as the 21st safest town to live. Smyrna was ranked the tenth safest city by the blog.
Mark Yother, police chief in Manchester says the numbers could be skewed because Manchester reports all crime numbers and some cities don’t report small crimes.
