Two Hoosier communities named ‘Safest to Raise Children’

Indianapolis, Ind. — Two Indiana cities have been mentioned on a list of the “safest to raise a child.” Carmel and Fishers are fourth and sixth respectively on the list compiled by safewise.com/blog/safest-cities-to-raise-a-child/.

The list was compiled using state graduation rates, school quality ranking, sex offender concentration and FBI violent crime data. The study also evaluated park and recreation opportunities and special programs for families and older adults.

No other Midwestern states had towns that made the list.
