Brookfield Among Top 91 Safest Places to Live in CT: Report

Editor's note: This article was published earlier this week, but here but is again, in case you missed it.

There are lots of variations on the safest place to live lists for Connecticut but they all have one thing in common — Ridgefield is indeed the safest place to live in the Nutmeg State. But where does your town rank?

The latest study comes from Alarm System Reviews, which ranks the top 91 safest places to live based on a variety of data. The caveat is, only communities with 2,500 or more people were included in the list and FBI crime data from 2015 for that town had to be readily available.
Connecticut fares well in the study, ranking as the eighth safest in the nation.
