We\u2019ve seen the winner in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/top-ten\/safest-places-in-florida\/\">Florida<\/a>; we\u2019ve taken a look at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/top-ten\/safest-places-in-new-york\/\">New York\u2019s safest city<\/a>, the Town of Elmira; and today, we proudly present Michigan\u2019s safest city, Grosse Ile. Of course it faced some stiff competition to get to the top. Here are the 10 safest places in Michigan:<br \/>\n1. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/grosse-ile-mi\/\">Grosse Ile Township<\/a><br \/>\n2. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/hamburg-mi\/\">Hamburg Township<\/a><br \/>\n3. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/south-lyon-mi\/\">South Lyon<\/a> (tie)<br \/>\n3. Village of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/milford-mi\/\">Milford<\/a> (tie)<br \/>\n5. City of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/berkley-mi\/\">Berkley<\/a><br \/>\n6. City of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/new-baltimore-mi\/\">New Baltimore<\/a><br \/>\n7. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/bloomfield-mi\/\">Bloomfield Township<\/a><br \/>\n8.

City of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/rochester-mi\/\">Rochester<\/a><br \/>\nTo learn about the methodology behind this list, keep reading. We\u2019ll also discuss each place\u2019s crime stats in detail, why each ranked the way it did, and, at the bottom of the post, you\u2019ll find a complete list of the safest cities in Michigan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #ff9;clear: both;margin-bottom: 18px;overflow: hidden;border: 1px solid #e5e597;padding-bottom: 13px;padding-top: 13px;text-align: center;width: 587px\">Like Movoto on <b style=\"color: #4c69ba\">Facebook<\/b>: <\/p>\n<h2>The Method Behind this List<\/h2>\n<p>In order to create this list of the 10 safest cities in Michigan, we looked at the FBI\u2019s report of crime statistics from 2012. For our locations, we selected the places in Michigan with a population of 10,000 or more, which left us with 102 places in total. Then, we looked at each of these places in terms of three criteria:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Violent crime (rape, murder, assault)<\/li>\n<li>Property crime (theft, burglary, motor vehicle thefts)<\/li>\n<li>The chance a resident will be a victim of crime<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For violent crime and property crime, we calculated the number of transgressions per resident. In order to determine a resident\u2019s chances of being the victim of a crime, we used the total number of crimes in the city. Then, we ranked each city from one to 102 across the three criteria. The lower the number was, the better the city\u2019s score.<br \/>\nWhen we weighted the criteria, we placed a greater emphasis on violent crime, followed by property crime, and then the chance a resident might be the victim of a crime. Violent crime made up 50 percent of our ranking, property crime made up 30 percent, and a resident\u2019s chances of being the victim of a crime made up 20 percent.<br \/>\nThink of it this way: In total, there were 175,567 total crimes committed last year across all of the places in our ranking. The good news is, most of these crimes were not violent crimes\u2014about 82 percent of them were property theft, or 143,667 reported crimes.<br \/>\nWhen all was said and done, Grosse Ile turned out to be our safest place. What about the most dangerous? It was Benton Harbor. This city had a total of 1,100 reported crimes for just over 10,000 residents; so, residents here had a 1 in 9 chance of being the victim of a crime. This means that residents of Detroit, with a 1 in 12 chance of being the victim of a crime, can rest (relatively) easy.<br \/>\nMore on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/detroit-mi\/\">Detroit<\/a> later. Now that we\u2019ve taken a look at our least safe city, let\u2019s continue on to our 10 safest.<\/p>\n<h2>1. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/grosse-ile-mi\/\">Grosse Ile Township<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Michigan\u2019s safest place, Grosse Ile, is named after the French words which mean \u201cBig Island.\u201d Not only is the township of Grosse Ile situated on several islands in the Detroit River, but it truly does seem to be an oasis of calm and safety.<br \/>\nIn 2012, Grosse Ile only saw a total of 89 crimes total out of over 10,200 people. That is the same amount that the city of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/saint-clair-shores-mi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">St. Clair Shores<\/a> saw in motor vehicle theft alone. Of course, Grosse Ile has a much smaller population than this other city, but proportionally Grosse Ile is still the clear winner. Grosse Ile had no reports of murder, forcible rape, or robbery; in fact, almost 100 percent of the total crimes were property theft, and of those 88, 76 were larceny. Residents here have a 1 in 115 chance of being the victim of a crime of any type.<\/p>\n<h2>2. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/hamburg-mi\/\">Hamburg Township<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Located in Livingston County, Hamburg Township scored well for a total crime rate of just 117 in 2012. To break that down for you, Hamburg only saw 10 violent crimes, none of which were murders or robberies. Compare this to Muskegon Heights with a population half the size and 200 violent crimes total\u2014one of which was murder, and 52 of which were robberies.<br \/>\nHamburg Township\u2019s remaining crimes consisted solely of property theft (things like burglary, larceny, and motor vehicle theft), but of those property crimes, 66 percent were larceny\/theft, which while still a crime, is at least better than being robbed at gunpoint.<\/p>\n<h2>3. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/south-lyon-mi\/\">South Lyon<\/a> (tie)<\/h2>\n<p>South Lyon, located in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/oakland-county-mi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oakland County<\/a>, made our list for just 120 reported total crimes for a population of 11,408. That means residents have a 1 in 95 chance of being the victim of any crime.<br \/>\nLooking closer at these figures, South Lyon only had four violent crimes in 2012, two of which were forcible rape, one robbery, and one aggravated assault. As far as property crime goes, South Lyon saw 21 burglaries, 92 cases of larceny\/theft, and three stolen motor vehicles.<\/p>\n<h2>3. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/milford-mi\/\">Milford<\/a> (tie)<\/h2>\n<p>Tying with South Lyon on our list was another place in Oakland County, the township of Milford. With a population of nearly 16,000, Milford saw a total of just 159 crimes in 2012, meaning that residents here have a 1 in 99 chance of being the victim of a crime.<br \/>\nOf those 159 crimes, 96 percent were merely property crimes, like larceny, car theft, and burglary; and of the remaining seven violent crimes, none were murder\u2013which, we think everyone can agree, is always good news.<\/p>\n<h2>5. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/berkley-mi\/\">Berkley<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Another Oakland County City, Berkley has just over 15,000 residents and scored well in our ranking for a number of reasons\u2014all of which added up to a total of just 141 reported crimes in 2012. The majority of those crimes (132 of 141) were property crimes. Of those property crimes, only 24 were burglaries, nine were motor vehicle thefts; the rest of which were simple larceny\/theft.<br \/>\nOnly nine of the 141 crimes reported in 2012 were violent crimes, and of those, the majority were aggravated assault. Compare this to the similarly sized <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/owosso-mi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Owosso<\/a>, which had a total of 61 violent crimes in 2012\u2014including one murder and 13 forcible rapes.<\/p>\n<h2>6. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/new-baltimore-mi\/\">New Baltimore<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>This historic coastal resort community in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/macomb-county-mi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Macomb County<\/a> may share a name with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/baltimore-md\/\">Baltimore, MD<\/a>, but when it comes to safety, the similarities end. With a population of just over 12,000 residents, New Baltimore had only 66 reported crimes total in 2012. That\u2019s about half the crime of the similarly populated Rochester, and less than half the crimes reported in Rochester, also a town with a similar population size.<br \/>\nIf you\u2019re wondering how in the world New Baltimore ranked No. 6, when Rochester ranked No. 10 on our list after reading this, it\u2019s \u00a0because of how we weighted the criteria. Sure, New Baltimore only had 66 crimes while Rochester had 141 total, but of those crimes, New Baltimore\u2019s leaned more heavily toward violent crimes\u201410 out of the 61. This was mostly thanks to the nine aggravated assaults reported in 2012.<br \/>\nNo matter how you slice it, though, with just a 1 in 183 chance of being the victim of a crime, residents in New Baltimore can rest easy.<\/p>\n<h2>7. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/bloomfield-mi\/\">Bloomfield Township<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Yet another place in Oakland County, Bloomfield Township (usually referred to simply as Bloomfield), has, up until this point, been known as one of the most expensive suburbs in Michigan, and even in the U.S. It can now add \u201cone of the safest cities in Michigan\u201d to its resume.<br \/>\nBloomfield saw a total of 474 crimes in 2012, but considering this township\u2019s population of 41,367, this is not bad at all. In fact, this means residents only have a 1 in 87 chance of being the victim of a crime at all.<br \/>\nLike most of the places on our list, the majority of the crimes in Bloomfield were property crimes\u2014452 of the 474. Of the crimes that were violent, though, 68 percent were aggravated assault, which, of course, is still a violent crime; but at least it isn\u2019t murder. (Note: there was one murder reported in 2012\u2014that\u2019s one out of 41,367 residents.)<\/p>\n<h2>8. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/riverview-mi\/\">Riverview<\/a> (tie)<\/h2>\n<p>Located along the Detroit River in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/wayne-county-mi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wayne County<\/a>, Riverview tied for the No. 8 spot on our list, mostly for its very low number of violent crimes. Of the 103 total crimes reported in 2012, just 11 were violent. More impressive still, none of these reported violent crimes were murder or forcible rape, which at least makes Riverview one of the least terrifying on our top 10 when it comes to types of crimes.<br \/>\nOf the 92 reported property crimes in 2012 the majority\u201478 out of 92\u2014were theft\/larceny. Residents here have just a 1 in 120 chance of being the victim of a crime.<\/p>\n<h2>8. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/west-bloomfield-mi\/\">West Bloomfield Township<\/a> (tie)<\/h2>\n<p>By far the largest place in our top 10 with a population of over 65,000, West Bloomfield Township tied with Riverview for safety. This township had a total of 726 reported crimes in 2012, which may sound like a lot, until you consider its overall population. In fact, residents here only have a one in 90 chance of being the victim of a crime, and with 95 percent of those non-violent crimes, chances are you won\u2019t get hurt.<br \/>\nThat may sound like little to get excited about, but when you look at cities like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/highland-park-mi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Highland Park<\/a> where 26 percent of the total crime was violent, we\u2019d imagine West Bloomfield residents will sleep a little more soundly.<\/p>\n<h2>10. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/rochester-mi\/\">Rochester<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>The final city on our list was Rochester. Also located in Oakland County just outside of Detroit, Rochester had only 141 reported crimes in 2012\u2014132 of which were non-violent. To break this down a little more for you, let\u2019s look at the property crimes. The majority, 101, were property theft\/larceny, followed by 24 reported burglaries, and seven cases of motor vehicle theft.<br \/>\nOf the mere nine reported violent crimes, none were murders, one was forcible rape, two were robberies, and six were aggravated assaults. With a population of just over 12,800, residents in Rochester have just a 1 in 91 chance of being the victim of a crime.<\/p>\n<h2>Don\u2019t Go There<\/h2>\n<p>Now that we\u2019ve covered all of our safest cities in Michigan, here\u2019s a quick look at some of the places you should avoid. \u00a0As previously mentioned, the place that ranked the lowest on our list was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/benton-harbor-mi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Benton Harbor<\/a>, where there were not only a lot of total crimes (1,100), but of those, 236 were violent crimes\u2014and the population is just over 10,000!<br \/>\nSlightly less dangerous was Flint. With a population of over 100,000 residents, Flint reported a total of 8,419 crimes in 2012, giving residents a 1 in 12 chance of being a victim. The third most dangerous city on our list was Detroit. Yes, you knew it would grace the list somewhere\u2014unfortunately, it\u2019s just at the bottom, and with a total of 55,967 reported crimes, 15,011 of which were violent, and 386 of which were murder or \u201cnon-negligent manslaughter,\u201d it\u2019s no wonder why.<br \/>\nAll told, the places that ranked most dangerous in our study, from relatively most safe to least safe, were Benton Harbor, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/flint-mi\/\">Flint<\/a>, Detroit, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/muskegon-heights-mi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Muskegon Heights<\/a>, and Highland Park. So, if you\u2019re thinking about visiting one of these places, be sure to keep an eye out&#8211; perhaps for the nearest bus out of town.<\/p>\n<p style=\"background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #ff9;clear: both;margin-bottom: 18px;overflow: hidden;border: 1px solid #e5e597;padding-bottom: 13px;padding-top: 13px;text-align: center;width: 587px\">Like Movoto on <b style=\"color: #4c69ba\">Facebook<\/b>: <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/01\/safest-places-michigan\/safest-michigan.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/01\/safest-places-michigan\/safest-michigan.png\" alt=\"Safest Cities in Michigan Table\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<b>Like This Post?
