Vestavia ranked as third safest city in Alabama

Vestavia Hills was recently ranked as the third safest city in Alabama by Movoto, a real estate research website. The site looked at places with populations over 10,000 and then ranked them based on FBI crime statistics from 2012.

No murders were reported in Vestavia Hills in 2012, and there was low violent crime as well as property crime, both of which ranked No. 2 for their categories. Locals had a 1 in 65 chance of being the victim of a crime, and that would most likely be property crime rather than something violent.

The top ten safest cities in Alabama based on the rankings are as follows:

1. Helena

2. Mountain Brook

3. Vestavia Hills

4. Pleasant Grove

5. Alabaster

6. Hartselle

7. Fort Payne

8. Madison

9. Hoover

10. Moody
