You hear a lot about places in Missouri that are dangerous, but what about the safe places? There are 6 in a new ranking that are so safe they're practically heavenly.

We recently shared the 6 places in Missouri where you're most likely to be harmed and/or have your property damaged. It's only fair that we turn the tables and also take a look at the 6 safest places in the state according to the website Safe Home.

Here are the Missouri cities with the lowest crime rates:

  1. Cottleville
  2. Town & Country
  3. Palmyra

Here are the Missouri cities with the lowest property crime rates:

  1. Cabool
  2. Lake Ozark
  3. Ironton

I will continue to say this until I am blue in the face. Most of Missouri (yes, I said "most") is so safe you really don't need to worry about even locking your doors. It's the handful of violent metro areas that give outsiders the impression that Missouri is dangerous overall. I have many family members who grew up and/or live in Palmyra, Missouri and it's about as safe a place as you could hope for. Neighbors watching out for neighbors and I don't doubt many other Missouri places are like that, too.

I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I'd gladly make any of these 6 Missouri places the home for my family. Just the tip of the iceberg for safe places in our state.
