I downloaded the crime database from the census, and calculated violent crime (murder, rape, assault and robbery) per 1,000 citizens for cities with a population of 200,000 or higher. Data from 2008.

I was really surprised by some of these! I live in one of the top 10 so I figured when I saw "safest cities" that mine would be on there.

Are you sure about the numbers? Even the second-best city has about ONE violent crime per inhabitant? That would be scary... Maybe you had one or two zeros too much or too few in your calculation.

Savannah, GA does not have 200,000 people...more like 130,000 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_united_states_cities_by_population

Coulraphobic - you are also correct. I went back and checked,and the census, for whatever reason, listed the savannah metro area, rather than just savannah proper in their crime database. Why, I do not know. They didnt do that for most other cities. I'll leave Savannah on there but add that it's the metro area. Not perfect, I know, but you have to stay consistent with the source.

Nobbe - I'm really sorry - you're right, this is percent. I multiplied the per capita by 100 to make the numbers more pleasing to the eye, but forgot to mention that fact. I will make it clear.

here is the formula: 1000*(rape+murder+assault+robbery)/population

it was multiplied by 1,000 not 100.
