A new report has determined the safest cities in Michigan with nearly all of the 25 located in the metro Detroit area.
The report from Alarms.org and the National Council for Home Safety and Security took into account the most recent FBI Uniform Crime Report statistics along with the website's own data and internal research.
When looking at the data, they eliminated any city that failed to submit a complete crime repot and also cities under 10,000 people.
Then, they ranked then based off of number of reported violent crimes and property crimes per 1,000 people.
Grosse Ile Township came in at No. 1 with a two violent crimes and 15 property crimes for their 10,123 population. Oakland Township was second with six violent crimes and 52 property crimes with a population of 19,659.
