another reason to sleep better at night.
In a recent study conducted by Movoto,
a popular real estate blog, Naperville and Aurora ranked as 2 of the
safest mid-sized cities in America. The basis for the ranking were the number
of crimes (total, property and violent) per year, per 100,000 residents. The
likelihood that residents would find themselves victims of such crimes was
determined and each city was ranked in relation to the others, with one being
the best and 100 being the worst. The data used was gathered from the FBI’s
2013 crime data.
Naperville’s latest accolade, ranking
4th on the list, is great news for its and residents. Their beloved city had
previously earned other National Best City Awards such as “one of the best
cities in which to retire early”
(2013) and “one of the best places to live” (2008). Based on the Movoto
study, the odds of being a crime victim in Naperville are 1 in 92. For violent
crime, this number is 1 in 1,819 and for property crimes, it is 1 in 104.

of the first cities in the U.S. to implement an all electric street lighting
system, thus earning the nickname “City of Lights.” From 2000 until 2009, U.S.
Census Bureau ranked Aurora as the 46th fastest growing city with a population
of over 100,000. There’s a 1 in 89 chance of being a victim of a crime in
