"THIRD SAFEST COUNTY IN AMERICA"

Tipton County has been voted the number three safest rural community in America by The Progressive Farmer, an agricultural and country living magazine which has been in publication since 1886.

With assistance from OnBoard Informatics, The Progressive Farmer rated rural communities of various sizes across America. Using crime rate numbers that measure the risk of incidence based on FBI crime data, they took into account property crime, burglary, larceny, vehicle theft, robbery and murder risk. For example, the national average is 100; 200 would be twice the average risk and 50 would be half the average risk. The Progressive Farmer rated Tipton County as a 6, which means residents are 17 times less likely to encounter crime than the average county nationwide.
