All that hustle and bustle can be nice, but it can be stressful for some who want a more low-key lifestyle. Meanwhile, smaller towns often offer a stronger sense of community, peace, relaxation, and of course, safety.<br \/>\nThat last factor is what we here at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Movoto Real Estate<\/a> Blog decided to focus on today. In particular, we wanted to know where the best small towns were across the country for people who want to feel secure in their smaller communities.<br \/>\nSo we crunched some numbers, kept ourselves low-stress, and got this list of the top 10 safest small towns in America:<br \/>\n1. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/zionsville-in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zionsville, IN<\/a><br \/>\n2. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/hillsborough-ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hillsborough, CA<\/a><br \/>\n3. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/trophy-club-tx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trophy Club, TX<\/a><br \/>\n4. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/erie-co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Erie, CO<\/a><br \/>\n5. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/nolensville-tn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nolensville, TN<\/a><br \/>\n6. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/firestone-co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Firestone, CO<\/a><br \/>\n7. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/moraga-ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Moraga, CA<\/a><br \/>\n8. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/purcellville-va\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Purcellville, VA (Tie)<\/a><br \/>\n8. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/los-altos-hills-ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Los Altos Hills, CA (Tie)<\/a><br \/>\n10. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/signal-mountain-tn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Signal Mountain, TN<\/a><br \/>\nIf you\u2019re looking for your small town and you don\u2019t find it here, you can also check the chart at the bottom of this article to see the top 50 places we looked at. Alternatively, you can also take a look at our very next section to find out how we made this ranking.<\/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>How We Created This Ranking<\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s safety in numbers, and that\u2019s how we did everything here: by the numbers.<br \/>\nTo start with, we looked at only small towns in the U.S. with populations between 5,000 and 25,000 people. We then used the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fbi.gov\/about-us\/cjis\/ucr\/crime-in-the-u.s\/2012\/crime-in-the-u.s.-2012\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FBI Uniform Crime Report (2012)<\/a> to gather data on specific types of crime, and any place that did not have reported crime data was omitted from our list.<br \/>\nThe types of crime we looked at were:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Murder<\/li>\n<li>Rape<\/li>\n<li>Robbery<\/li>\n<li>Assault<\/li>\n<li>Burglary<\/li>\n<li>Theft<\/li>\n<li>Vehicle theft<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>From there, we put these crimes into four categories:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Murders<\/li>\n<li>Violent crimes<\/li>\n<li>Property crimes<\/li>\n<li>Total crimes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After that, we took the 164 towns that reported data and we calculated the crime per 100,000 residents in order to fairly compare towns of all sizes (a common statistical practice).<br \/>\nWe then ranked each place in each of the four crime types from one to 164, with rankings closer to one being safer.<br \/>\nBecause certain crimes are more severe than others, such as murder, the categories were weighted so that murder, violent crime, and property crime would each comprise 30 percent of the overall score, where the total number of crimes would make up 10 percent.<br \/>\nLastly, we averaged each place\u2019s rankings into one <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/kind-of-a-big-deal-lists\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Big Deal Score<\/a>, and the place with the lowest number for that score was our safest small town. Why don\u2019t we take a moment to look at each of our top 10 in more detail, so you can see exactly what makes each of these towns so special and safe?<\/p>\n<h2>1. Zionsville, IN<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/09\/safest-small-towns\/images\/1.jpg\" alt=\"Safest Small Towns in America\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Jason Pearce<\/div>\n<p>Not only Zionsville the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/top-ten\/safest-places-in-indiana\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">safest spot in the state<\/a>, it\u2019s also the safest small town we looked at in the entire country.<br \/>\nOn top of that, this town manages to be simply beautiful, with brick streets, a Victorian style downtown, and festivals that will knock your socks off.<br \/>\nLet\u2019s just start by saying that violence isn\u2019t a problem. To be frank, it just doesn\u2019t happen. In 2012, there were no murders, rapes, robberies, or assaults reported. That easily ranked put Zionsville at No. 1 for lowest violent crime on our list.<br \/>\nThe rest of the crime was very low as well, with merely 42 burglaries, 147 thefts, and four vehicle thefts per 100,000 people.<br \/>\nAll that meant that Zionsville ranked No. 1 in every possible category, and offered residents a 1 in 518 chance of being the victim of a crime. If you want safety, there\u2019s no small town better than this.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Hillsborough, CA<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/09\/safest-small-towns\/images\/2.jpg\" alt=\"Safest Small Towns in America\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Steve Boland <\/div>\n<p>Although it couldn\u2019t quite keep up with Zionsville\u2019s impressive scores, Hillsborough was still amazingly safe.<br \/>\nThis 11,060 resident <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California<\/a> locale had no murders, rapes, or assaults in 2012, and only nine robberies per 100,000 people. Like we said, that\u2019s pretty impressive.<br \/>\nAs far as other sorts of crime, this town did well at keeping it minimal. It ranked seventh for property crime, with only 777 crimes of that type per 100,000 people.<br \/>\nThat meant a total of 786 total crimes per 100,000, and a very safe 1 in 127 chance of being the victim of a crime.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Trophy Club, TX<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/09\/safest-small-towns\/images\/3.jpg\" alt=\"Safest Small Towns in America\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Philip Shoffner<\/div>\n<p>If you want a place with a very small, safe, tight-knit community, a little more on the upscale side of things, Trophy Club is for you.<br \/>\nTrue, you\u2019ll have to pay big bucks to live here, but for the safety it\u2019s certainly worth it. There were no murders, robberies, assaults, or vehicle thefts reported in 2012, and only 12 rapes per 100,000 people.<br \/>\nMore than that, it had only 130 burglaries and 842 thefts per 100,000 people, giving Trophy Club a very low property crime rate along with the fourth lowest violent crime rate.<br \/>\nThis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/tx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Texas<\/a> town also offered locals a comfortable 1 in 102 chance of being the victim of any crime, with it being even less likely that they\u2019d be the victim of a violent crime.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Erie, CO<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/09\/safest-small-towns\/images\/4.jpg\" alt=\"Safest Small Towns in America\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Colorado_Chris<\/div>\n<p>To start, there were no rapes or murders reported here in 2012, and only five robberies and 43 assaults per 100,000 people.<br \/>\nThis was one of the lowest violent crime ranks on our list, and for one of the biggest towns we looked at, too, with a population of 18,761.<br \/>\nThe standout for this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/boulder-co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Boulder, CO<\/a> neighbor, though, was the very low property crime.<br \/>\nThe third lowest on our list, this town had only 571 property crimes per 100,000 reported that year. That also helped give it the third lowest total crime and gave locals a 1 in 162 chance of being the victim of crime.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Nolensville, TN<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/09\/safest-small-towns\/images\/5.jpg\" alt=\"Safest Small Towns in America\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user WHardcastle<\/div>\n<p>This tiny town was easily the smallest in our top 10, with only 6,086 proud people living there. However, it came up with some big safety numbers across the board.<br \/>\nTo start, there were no murders, rapes, or robberies here, and only 49 assaults per 100,000 people, meaning Nolensville had very low violent crime.<br \/>\nIts property crime was impressively low as well. Nolensville residents had a 1 in 149 chance of being a victim of a crime, thanks to the fourth lowest property crime on our list, with only 49 burglaries, 559 thefts, and 16 vehicle thefts per 100,000 people in 2012<\/p>\n<h2>6. Firestone, CO<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/09\/safest-small-towns\/images\/6.jpg\" alt=\"Safest Small Towns in America\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Erik Johnson<\/div>\n<p>If you want some natural beauty and seriously nice views with your safety, this town is the one you\u2019ve been looking for.<br \/>\nAlong with the plethora of lovely parks to relax in, Firestone had the 12th lowest violent crime on our list, including no murders or robberies reported in 2012.<br \/>\nLocals were also lucky enough to have a 1 in 104 chance of being the victim of a crime, due to the fact that this town had merely 921 property crimes as well.<br \/>\nThis came out to Firestone having the 12th lowest property crime on our list, as well as the 12th lowest total crime. Top that off with a very caring community and you\u2019ve pretty much got it made.<\/p>\n<h2>7.

Purcellville, VA<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/09\/safest-small-towns\/images\/8.jpg\" alt=\"Safest Small Towns in America\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Dion Hinchcliffe<\/div>\n<p>This little town was an above all safe haven for your stuff. Locals were able to enjoy the sixth lowest property crime, with only 726 crimes of that type per 100,000 people being reported in 2012.<br \/>\nThe violent crime was also very low,with no robberies or murders in 2012. That means residents had a respectably low 1 in 129 chance of being the victim of a crime.<br \/>\nHats off to the folks at the Purcellville Police Department\u2014you\u2019re obviously doing a fine job.<\/p>\n<h2>8.

Los Altos Hills had the second best rank for crimes of that type, with only 554 crimes of that type per 100,000 people.<br \/>\nIn fact, this town had the second lowest total crime, just behind Zionsville, and which meant locals had a 1 in 163 chance of being the victim of crime.<\/p>\n<h2>10.
