Lists the safest towns in Pennsylvania based on crime rates.

When deciding where to move, safety plays a huge role. Especially if you have children or small pets. We looked at Neighborhood Scout's crime rates for Pennsylvania in order to bring you the safest towns in Pennsylvania... And here they are.

10. East Berlin

Located in Adams County, East Berlin is a small town, with less than 2,000 residents.

9. Boswell

Boswell is a small borough in Somerset County. It originated as a coal town and now is home to many families with children.

8. Cherry Tree

Cherry Tree is a tiny town with less than 500 inhabitants. It is named for its large, distinct cherry tree.

7. Atlantic

Amazingly, Atlantic is even smaller than Cherry Tree. It has only 77 residents. Maybe its small size has something to do with its safety.

6. Jackson Center

Jackson County is a mid-size small town located in the heart of Mercer County. It is almost entirely as lush as the above photograph makes it seem.

5. Smicksburg

Wow. With only 46 people, it's a wonder that Smicksburg is even on the map. It's a big player in the map of safety however.

4. Hookstown

Hookstown is named after a revolutionary war soldier named Matthew Hook. I'm sorry to inform you that he was not a pirate.

3. Enon Valley

Located in Lawrence County, the population of Enon Valley is only about 300 people.

2. Mount Gretna

Mount Gretna is famous for its summer art shows, jazz concerts, and lectures.

1. Hop Bottom

And the all time most safe city in Pennsylvania is Hop Bottom... Named for the hops that used to be grown in the territory.
