JOHNS CREEK, GA — Johns Creek has been named one of the top 10 safest cities in the United States to raise a child according to a new report by SafeWise.

SafeWise each city's overall safety score, median income, crime rate, graduation rates, and number of sex offenders. It also detailed what makes each city attractive to families and what these communities have done to address crime. Johns Creek's stats include:

Safety Score: 97.07

Graduation Rate: 96 percent

Sex Offender Rate (per 10,000): 0.40

Violent Crime Rate (per 1,000): 0.29

Property Crime Rate (per 1,000): 6.77

Population: 85,048

Median Income: $113,609 "This city's safe streets are just a hop, skip, and a jump from Atlanta, where Johns Creek lies nestled along the Chattahoochee River," SafeWise wrote. "In 2017, the city council launched an iHeart resolution aimed at improving health and wellness across the community. You'll find the city website full of offerings for kid's recreational sports, outdoor yoga, and more."

As parents, there's nothing more important than keeping children safe, the report said. "From crime levels to quality schools, living in a community that shares your priorities is important," SafeWise wrote. "The good news is that no matter where you live in America, your children probably enjoy lower crime levels than you did growing up. Statistics from the FBI show that violent crime in the United States has fallen 49 percent since 1993, and property crime has also decreased 50 percent during the same period."

But what makes a community safe is about more than the prevalence of crime, SafeWise wrote. As they dug deep into the data, they also considered factors like graduation rates and the number of sex offenders per capita. SafeWise analyzed the most recent FBI violent and property crime report statistics. Cities were ranked according to the number of violent crimes (including aggravated assault, murder, rape, and robbery) and property crimes (burglary, arson, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft). By considering crime data alongside sex offenders per capita and graduation rates per capita, SafeWise also was able to calculate its final safety score.

Violent crime, property crime, and sex offenders per capita were each weighted as 30 percent of a city's score. High school graduation rates made up 10 percent of the score. Scores were then standardized to calculate their rankings for the safest cities to raise a child.

Cities were excluded from the list if they fell below the population threshold of 75,000 or didn't submit a complete crime report to the FBI. To level the playing field, violent and property crime rates were calculated per 1,000 people in each city.

"Information like this can tell us not only about threats within the community but also how well-positioned these cities are to help kids thrive," SafeWise said.
