Best Places to Live

Hubby in the freezer because The Green Mountain State is super safe.

Vermont is the second smallest state in the country, and has the least amount of violent crimes! The state’s largest employers include IBM and Ben & Jerry’s. If you are looking to live somewhere pleasant, Vermont would not be a bad choice as it consistently ranks in the top states for happiness, health, and intelligence. Let’s take a look at some of Vermont’s safest cities.

That's right. Vermonters say that they never get tired of hearing that they are one of the best states in America or that they are one of the wealthiest; but they say the one that makes them most proud, is that they are the second safest state in the country; and we don't blame them.

We discovered that Vermont's violent crime numbers and property crime numbers speak volumes: they are virtually non-existent. It's so safe here, that they only need 170 police officers per 100,000 residents; and if you get injured, they have 34 hospitals to meet the needs of the 620,000 people that call this New England state home.

But, folks, the real cherry on top is that Vermont has super safe places to live for every stage of life and for every budget. For instance, Newport and St Johnsbury are safe and one of the safest places to raise a family, and if you don't have to worry about a budget, you should definitely give check Essex Junction a look.
