2. Oak Ridge, Tennessee
Just outside the city of Knoxville is Oak Ridge, Tennessee – America’s second safest city. The reason for their success is the collaborative efforts between law enforcement and town residents by way of special neighborhood groups and communities who examine new police procedures on certain issues. The same groups even make top-five lists monthly to point out the best newly improved properties and those that require the most improvement. This working together between communities and police is probably the main factor driving the city’s safety levels to be a national contender for first place. Realtor.com nominated Oak Ridge for first place.
