You may or may not be surprised by these ten Kentucky cities that were ranked as the safest in the entire state.

When you think of Kentucky overall, you don't really associate it with crime. Sure, criminal acts happen all of the time, but that's not typically the stereotype that goes with the Bluegrass State. That being said, we still see so much on the news about crime, and the increasing amounts of criminal activity across the state. It makes you stop and take a look at your area and wonder how safe it actually is. Well, as it turns out, if you live in one of these Kentucky cities, you are in luck when it comes to safety because they rank among the safest in the entire state.

The Safest Cities in Kentucky

The folks over at Reolink recently determined the ten safest places to live in Kentucky. This isn't one of those things that is based on opinion; in fact, they used cold, hard data to come to their conclusion. According to Reolink, data from the FBI Uniform Crime Report was used. More specifically, they analyzed violent crime rates and property crime rates in cities across Kentucky.

In any event, are you surprised by these findings? You can learn more by clicking here.
