If you’re looking to move to a new state, there are so many reasons to think about moving to Colorado. It’s one of the most naturally beautiful states in the country, it actually has all four seasons, there are recreational activities no matter your preferences, and depending on where you look, it can actually be quite affordable.
But before we start sounding too much like a brochure for Colorado, there is one question left to be answered: Is it safe?
That was the subject of our latest analysis at the Movoto Real EstateBlog. We learned that yes, in fact, Colorado is safe—in some places more than others. Here are the 10 safest of those places:
1. Town of Erie
2. Town of Firestone
3. Town of Windsor
4. Town of Parker
5. City of Fruita
6. City of Arvada
7. City of Lafayette
8. City of Golden
9. Town of Castle Rock
10. City of Longmont (tie)
10. City of Fort Morgan (tie)
Yes, that’s 11, but that’s simply because there was a tie for 10th place. Keep reading to find out why exactly these places are safer than the rest. We’ll also go over the method behind our analysis in the following paragraphs.
