"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 Famer 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. Tipton County is located on the Mississippi
River north of Memphis, and is one of the fastest growing
counties in the state. Between 1990 and 2000 Tipton County's population
grew 36.4% to 51,271 due to growth from Memphis, Tennessee. Population for 2006 from the Bureau of Census is estimated at 57,380, a 12% increase from 2000. Our
county has plenty to offer with an abundance of agriculture
and manufacturing industries. Our municipalities include Munford,
Atoka, Brighton, Mason and the county seat of Covington.
