This Idaho City Was Just Named One Of The Safest In The World
MSN recently came out with a list of the 50 safest cities in the world and one city in Idaho made the list, which will come as no surprise to Idahoans. Living in Idaho has several perks, and the safety of our cities is one of them. The feeling of safety that Idaho provides has resulted in a surge of interest towards the state as both a vacation destination and a place to live. The fact that this city was just recognized for being one of the safest in the world just goes to show that Idaho is finally getting the attention it deserves!
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date.

Each city has a "Safety Index" which is ranked on a scale of 0-100 (100 being the safest). Boise currently has the high safety index of 81.07. The data is calculated based on "perceptions of visitors" of the website who are asked various questions regarding how safe they feel in the city.

Along with ranking high on safety, Boise ranks very low on crime. Numbeo's calculated crime index for Boise is only 18.93 on the 0-100 scale (lower numbers meaning less crime).

Boise is the perfect combination of nature and industry. The downtown area contains all the perks of big city living, but nature and hiking trails are still just a quick drive away.

It's pretty cool to see Boise among some truly incredible cities such as Taipei, Taiwan and Munich, Germany. Of course, we've always loved Boise and we don't need a list to remind us just how great this city is!
