A recent MoneyGeek poll has found that two Chicagoland hotbeds are some of the safest cities in America. Naperville, home to just shy of 150,000 citizens, was named the safest city in all of the country. “The Dirty J” Joliet, who narrowly edges them out in population, finished seven spots behind them. According to the publication, the ranking looked at “standardized crime statistics reported to the FBI” in 2021. That data was then analyzed with the population of each city to determine crime rates per 100,000 people.

Midwest cities like Detroit, Milwaukee, and St. Louis found their way onto the 15 Most Dangerous Cities list. Chicago ranked on neither list.

Does this poll accurately represent the feelings of those in Naperville? The conversation lives on Facebook!
