City of Highland Village has Been Recognized as the Safest City in North Texas

City of Highland Village has been recognized as the Safest City in North Texas for the past five years. This year Highland Village is shown as the Safest City in Texas.

The 2006 Uniform Crime Report came out recently.  Based on the information on the FBI website (http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/cius2006/index.html), Highland Village is not only the Safest City in North Texas, but the Safest City in Texas with population over 10,000.  This is the same criterion that has been used to give us the "Safest City" title for the past 5 years.

Attached is a spreadsheet showing all cities with a population over 10,000 sorted for lowest total crime.  Remember, the numbers reflected here are the "rate per 100,000 population" which is the standard for comparing crime rates across the country.  Raw numbers can be reviewed at the above link.
