Carmel is safest midsize city in America
The City of Carmel has been ranked the No. 1 Safest Midsize City in America by online business research and reporting site, AdvisorSmith, a New York based financial services company, which established its ranking on a variety of factors using federal crime data. Carmel was the only city in Indiana to make the list. Of the top 10 midsize cities, five were in California and two were in Texas. Indiana, North Carolina and New Jersey each had one city.
The study was conducted based upon data provided by the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Crime Reporting Data Set. Carmel earned the number one spot due to its low incidence of violent and property crimes – only 2.1 per thousand people for violent crimes and 5.9 per thousand for property crimes per year of publication.
