Just how safe is your city?
According to the study released by Movoto Real Estate, a real estate blog, several Atlanta suburbs are among the state’s most secure and safe cities.
Movoto’s study is a compilation of data from the 2012 Federal Bureau of Investigation Uniform Crime Report. Movoto divided it into four categories: murders, violent crimes, property crimes and total crimes. They then ranked each city in each category from one to 73, with scores of one being the safest.
