2020 Safety Grades For Twin Cities Metro Suburbs

A new study has graded the suburbs in the Twin Cities metro area based on community safety.

TWIN CITIES, MN — Data website Niche.com has graded the suburbs and towns of the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area on violent and property crime rates. The 2020 statistics used come from the FBI.

"The 2020 Crime and Safety Grade provides a comprehensive assessment of the overall safety in an area," Niche said.

"This grade takes into account key indicators of a location’s safety, including violent and property crime rates as well as resident reviews, in an attempt to measure an area’s safety and security." Learn more about Niche's methodology here.
