Twinsburg Ranked As 1 Of Ohio's Safest Cities

TWINSBURG, OH - The City of Twinsburg was ranked as one of Ohio's 50 safest cities by the National Council for Safety and Security (NCSS). The organization ranked Twinsburg as the 41st safest city in the state.

The top five safest cities in Ohio were Russell Township, Chester Township, Dover, Bay Village, and Bellevue. The NCSS determined the rankings using the FBI Uniform Crime Report, population data, and NCSS internal research. Cities with less than 5,000 residents, and municipalities that did not submit a report to the FBI for the Uniform Crime Report, were disqualified.

Cities that weren't disqualified were ranked based on the number of reported violent crimes and property crimes per 100,000 people. Violent crimes were weighted more heavily than property crimes.

Other Northeast Ohio towns that made the list include Sagamore Hills, Brecksville, Berea, and neighboring Solon.

Solon is consistently ranked as one of Ohio's safest towns. In December 2016, ValuePenguin ranked Solon as the third safest large city in Ohio. In March 2016, CreditDonkey named Solon the 16th safest city in Ohio. In 2014, the city was named the 10th safest in Ohio by the Safewise Report.
