Utica Rome 19th Most Secure US City

http://www.farmers.com/FarmComm/WebSite/html/media_center/June_07_05.html

The Farmers rankings, compiled by database experts at http://www.bestplaces.net/ - took into consideration crime statistics, extreme weather, risk of natural disasters and job loss numbers in 331 U.S. municipalities. The 2005 study divided the communities into three groups: large metropolitan areas, mid-size cities and small towns.

The Utica-Rome Area improved their ranking from 24th last year to an impressive 19th position.
“Living, working and raising a family in a safe, secure area is important to many people,” said Jeff Beyer, senior vice-president & chief communications officer for Farmers. “It’s a form of protection. Whether it’s employment security, a stable climate or a low crime rate, we’d all like to find a place to live or work that provides us that feeling of wellbeing.”
