10 Safest Cities in New Hampshire for 2024
New Hampshire has always been a relatively safe state in regards to violent crime, especially compared to the rest of the country.
The idyllic small towns and miles of green space prove to be a haven for a peaceful existence, and a recent survey lands New Hampshire as one of the safest states for its residents.
Property crime rates are down 13% from last year, and are still 50% lower than the national average. Violent crimes rates in the Granite State are 65% lower than the national average, so there's good reason the people of New Hampshire should feel safe.
Safewise.com says 28% of residents do not use any form of property protection.
For those who do protect their property in New Hampshire, the measures of security most often used are security cameras, guard dogs, and firearms. The most frequently-cited problem is package theft, followed by property crime.
33% of New Hampshire respondents said they carry a concealed firearm for personal protection, compared with 41% nationally.
