Sweet little Greenville is a historical gold mine and has a darling main street to boot. But crime-wise? You're looking at a 1 in 14 chance of playing the role of 'victim.' Yikes.
Manchester ranks #12 overall when it comes to risk of violent crimes per resident. This of course could be due to the fact Manchester is pretty darn tiny.
